> An Israeli military sweep in Hebron displaced 370 families, nearly 2,000 people, from Ein Deir Baha after a gun attack on a checkpoint killed two Israeli soldiers. Residents said they were forced out, while the military said those who left did so voluntarily. Soldiers turned some homes into bases, and another nearby area was razed.
