A UN delegation on Monday examined the humanitarian, economic, and social repercussions of the Israeli military operation in the city of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank, which lasted 10 days and caused the displacement and harm of more than 3,300 people and the demolition of 15 facilities. The delegation's visit came after the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation army from Hebron, following a military operation that began on October 23 last year, which witnessed forced displacement of residents, closure of residential areas, and seizure of homes turning them into military barracks. The visit focused on the conditions in the al-Jalda and Deir Baha neighborhoods, which saw the displacement of hundreds of families from their homes during the military operation. The delegation held a meeting with Hebron Governor Khaled Dudin in his office, attended by Palestinian officials and representatives of civil society and local institutions. The delegation included representatives from the World Food Programme, the United Nations Population Fund, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the Office of the UN Special Coordinator, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the United Nations Development Programme, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
