In Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank, the Israeli army conducted a large-scale raid for the third consecutive day, with soldiers closing roads with barriers or concrete blocks and imposing a curfew, according to RFI.

RFI said six neighborhoods were affected, covering about 4 square kilometers, where 18,750 Palestinians live, and it reported that homes were being turned into military barracks and that almost no one could leave their homes, including the injured or sick.

Agence Media Palestine said Israeli forces launched a large-scale operation in Hebron deploying hundreds of soldiers and heavy equipment, paralyzing the southern neighborhoods of the city, and it reported that the Israeli forces closed most of the main and secondary roads and separated neighborhoods with mounds of earth and concrete blocks.

Agence Media Palestine further reported that dozens of civilians were subjected to on-the-ground interrogations or were arrested and sometimes beaten, and that damage was caused to regional infrastructure.

Beyond raids and clashes, Agence Media Palestine reported that Israeli authorities began demolishing the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in occupied East Jerusalem after banning more than 37 humanitarian organizations from access to the Gaza Strip.

Agence Media Palestine quoted a PNGO condemnation calling the demolition "This is an unprecedented attack not only against UNRWA and its premises, but also a grave violation of international law and of the privileges and immunities of the United Nations," and it said the network called on the international community to increase support and funding for UNRWA.

In parallel, the same source described Israeli plans affecting the Ibrahim Mosque in Hebron, saying that at the beginning of January Israel announced transferring the administration and planning powers of the mosque from the Palestinian Authority to its own Supreme Planning Council, raising fears among Palestinians of the permanent loss of the sacred site.
