🇵🇸 Israel holding 750 families in Hebron under curfew for a month, in the form of collective punishment | Btselem

Since the war broke out on 7 October 2023, the military has been imposing a curfew on 11 neighborhoods in Area H2 in Hebron. Stores and businesses have been shut down and thousands of people, amounting to about 750 families, are imprisoned at home. Only after two weeks of full #curfew, on 21 October 2023, did the military permit residents to leave home on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening.

There is no justification for keeping hundreds of people under a blanket movement ban, locked up at home for weeks on end. Israel is taking advantage of the fact that local and international attention is currently diverted from the #WestBank to impose far-reaching measures that constitute collective punishment, which is prohibited under international law. This conduct is integral to Israel’s #apartheid regime, which is at its most flagrant in #Hebron.
