Israel has once again imposed curfew regulations in the city of Hebron (al-Khalil) in the West Bank. Reports from Palestinian eyewitnesses indicate that dozens of individuals who ignored the curfew were arrested. Several Palestinians were also injured in today's clashes in Hebron. Israeli soldiers reinstated the curfew after a week of its suspension. Hebron is one of the seven major cities in the West Bank where strict curfew regulations have been enforced since June, following a series of suicide bombings and the reoccupation of West Bank cities by Israelis. Discontented Palestinians took to the streets, disregarding the curfew, to purchase their daily necessities, openly defying the Israeli military's orders. Israel had lifted the curfew in Hebron a week ago, and it remains unclear why the regulations were lifted and then reinstated. According to reports, some of those arrested in Hebron have been released while others remain in custody.
