> Israeli raids in occupied Hebron have displaced Palestinians and restricted movement. Since Friday, Israel has imposed a lockdown and detained at least 47 Palestinians, while about 2,500 people have been forced from their homes. Hebron accounts for roughly 40 percent of Palestinian industrial output and 30 percent of exports, making the restrictions a threat to the wider West Bank economy.
