Corroborated · Hebron, Palestinian territories ·
Israeli forces have imposed a lockdown and siege on Hebron and Halhul in the occupied West Bank since late October, with raids, home searches, demolitions and closed entrances, which Al Jazeera says Netanyahu ordered after a 23 October checkpoint attack. The IDF says it has apprehended some 20 suspects in the area. Displacement figures differ by source: the UN rights chief Volker Turk cited more than 2,000 people, the Jerusalem Post over 3,000, the Hebron mayor Yousef al-Jabari 488 families (over 3,100 people), and Democracy Now officials nearly 5,000.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
