Washington (UNA/WAFA) – Human rights organizations in the United States have warned of the escalating forced displacement operations carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in the city of Hebron.
The organizations indicated that the Israeli aggression on Hebron in recent days has led to the displacement of more than two thousand Palestinians from their homes, amid fears that they will be prevented from returning. They explained that women and children were forced to leave their homes suddenly, coinciding with demolition operations targeting hundreds of homes and commercial establishments, in measures they described as collective punishment against the Palestinian population..
She pointed out that what is happening in Hebron comes within the context of a broader campaign targeting the Palestinian presence in the West Bank, noting that Israeli “operations” since 2025 have caused the displacement of about 40 Palestinians from Jenin and Tulkarm, in one of the largest waves of forced displacement since 1967..
Human rights organizations considered these practices a violation of international law, warning against the repetition of military tactics used in the Gaza Strip within West Bank cities..
She criticized the continued US and Western support for Israel, arguing that the lack of international accountability contributes to the ongoing violations against Palestinian civilians..
The US administration and members of Congress were urged to take immediate action to halt displacement and home demolitions, and to hold Israeli officials accountable for violations against Palestinians, calling for an end to the use of US taxpayer funds to support Israeli military operations..
