WAFA reported on 2 November 2026 that Israeli forces withdrew from Jalda, Ein Deir Bahha and other Hebron neighbourhoods after an operation lasting 11 days. Local sources described residents beginning to return. Civil defence urged people not to touch suspicious objects or enter damaged buildings before inspection, and to let specialist teams work. Withdrawal does not establish that every building is safe. وكالة الأنباء والمعلومات الفلسطينية — WAFA

Context and what it means

In earlier background, OCHA linked the operation to a shooting that killed Israeli soldiers, then described movement restrictions, evacuation orders and disrupted services and education. Residents’ return consequently raises questions about restoring everyday life as well. The UN account explains the operation’s context; it does not independently verify Monday morning’s withdrawal.
