IDF Takes Over Hebron Buildings to Secure Routes to Jewish Community

IDF forces began taking over buildings in Hebron overnight on Saturday to strengthen operational control of traffic routes, including some that lead to the city's Jewish community. Palestinian residents were removed from the buildings, and Israeli flags were hung on them. Palestinians were also detained and questioned during the night as troops operated in the city. Some of those questioned were released near al-Fawwar during the hour preceding the new report on Saturday morning.
