The Israeli military has imposed a strict siege on Hebron following an attack that resulted in the deaths of two soldiers. The operation blocked ten entry points to the city and forced 4,969 residents to leave their homes.
Municipal data shows that 780 families were removed from the exclusion zone. Among the displaced are hundreds of elderly people, infants, and patients with chronic illnesses who require constant care.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a total closure of the area for security operations. The stated goal is to locate weapons and suspects involved in armed actions in the region.
The local government describes the situation as a severe isolation that affects the daily lives of 250,000 inhabitants. Military authorities mention legal challenges in maintaining the blockade for extended periods while they continue their search efforts.
Geopolitical instability in the Middle East increases risk aversion in global markets and may boost the dollar as a safe haven during times of uncertainty.
