An Israeli military operation in Hebron has led to the evacuation of families and the demolition of homes, after two soldiers were killed, according to the BBC Arabic report. The Palestinian Authority called for international pressure to protect Palestinians during the operation, which the report said was mounted in the wake of the soldiers' deaths.
The report did not say how many families were displaced, how many homes were destroyed, or whether anyone was killed or injured in the operation itself. It also did not identify the attackers who killed the two soldiers or say whether anyone had been detained. Casualty and displacement figures in such operations are often updated later.
