IDF Concludes Ten-Day Hebron Operation as Displaced Palestinian Families Begin Returning
What happened
The Israeli Defense Forces completed a ten-day security operation in Hebron on November 2, 2026, withdrawing troops as local Palestinian authorities assumed control to facilitate civilian returns.
The Context
* The catalyst: The operation followed an October 23 checkpoint shooting near Hebron that left two Israeli soldiers dead and three injured. * The local impact: Security forces arrested more than 115 individuals, demolished 15 structures, closed over 327 commercial shops, and suspended schooling for roughly 80,000 students. * The handover: Palestinian Governor Khaled Dudin confirmed local security forces took over key sectors including al-Jalada and Ein Deir Baha as residents returned to assess property damage.
The Number
— the minimum count of displaced residents returning to damaged infrastructure, serving as an operational benchmark for local municipal recovery and private sector resumption.
Takeaway
Expect sustained checkpoints and infrastructure assessments to slow commercial normalization in the West Bank over the coming weeks.
