Israeli Troops Violently Disperse Protest in Occupied West Bank

HeadlineOct 28, 2026

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli troops violently dispersed a protest in Hebron against Israel’s military operation to displace thousands of Palestinians in the region. This comes after the deaths of two Israeli soldiers shot by Palestinian gunmen last week. This is a displaced Palestinian who attended Tuesday’s protest.

Noura Nassar: “I don’t know how to get to my home. I had to take alternative routes to get to my doctor, because I had an appointment and I had to go. I am shocked that these are people who call for democracy. Where is the democracy in all of this? Their elections are today, but what about us? Aren’t we human beings? We want to go out. We want to visit the doctor. It’s shameful.”
