Hebron:Israeli occupation forces have detonated the homes of two slain Palestinians in the Deir Bahha neighborhood of Hebron city, according to local sources. The homes belonged to Hamoudeh and Ahmad al-Ka'abnah and were rigged with explosives before being detonated remotely and simultaneously.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA – English, the two al-Ka'abnah members were killed on October 23 by Israeli soldiers at the Farsh al-Hawa military checkpoint. This action is part of a broader Israeli military offensive in the Hebron governorate, which has been ongoing for eight consecutive days.
The offensive has led to the besiegement and closure of the al-Jaladah and Deir Bahha neighborhoods, with military forces conducting home raids and vandalizing property. More than 780 families have been affected, with 537 families forcibly displaced. Approximately 5,000 Palestinians are facing siege or forced displacement, either confined to their homes or forced to leave.
Since the start of the offensive, over 115 Palestinians have been detained, including a girl, with hundreds more being held and subjected to abuse. The military actions have also disrupted education for 2,872 students across 66 schools, either due to direct siege or forced displacement.
Additionally, the Hebron Chamber of Commerce has reported significant economic losses due to the closures, estimating daily losses between 10 million and 12 million shekels, with the dairy sector losing about one million shekels daily.
