In response to yesterday's Palestinian armed attack on an Israeli checkpoint near Hebron, the IDF has launched a large-scale counter-insurgency operation in Hebron. The operation is targeting the Ain Deir Baha Neighbourhood, in the western part of the city - which is where both perpetrators had resided. Israeli forces are now carrying out forced evacuations of all residents from the red area shown on the map, organising their evacuation through four different corridors. The IDF has established military positions in various houses, and are conducting widespread searches for militant infrastructure and weapons, while questioning and arresting suspects. Hebron and the nearby town of Halhul have been fully cordoned off, with roadblocks and checkpoints being established outside both cities. The operation is expected to continue for several days.
