Hebron families return home after Israeli siege ends; Gaza killings continue

Palestinian families began returning to Hebron after Israeli forces withdrew following a ten-day siege, according to the city's governor. Earlier reports said nearly 5,000 people had been displaced. Israeli troops also detained an Al Jazeera correspondent during raids in Hebron, the outlet says. In Gaza, Israeli forces killed four Palestinians and a fifth died of wounds, with nearly 1,600 reportedly killed since the October ceasefire last year.

  • Governor Khaled Dudin said on Monday that Israeli forces had pulled out of Hebron and displaced families could return.
  • Hebron's economic losses had passed $3.8m during the siege, with homes demolished and hundreds of businesses closed.
  • Israeli drone attacks killed at least eight Palestinians across Gaza on Sunday, including a four-year-old child.
