Israel's siege of Hebron displaces nearly 5,000, mayor decries 'collective punishment'
Military closes the city at ten entrances after a fatal attack; accounts cite limited accomplishments in the weapons search and legal concerns over prolonged evictions
Israel's military siege on the southern West Bank city of Hebron has entered its second week with nearly 5,000 people displaced, according to an analysis by Al Jazeera. The lockdown began on October 23 after two Palestinians shot dead two Israeli soldiers before being killed. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the closure, pledging to 'act to destroy this place.'
