In response to terrorist attacks against Israel, as Israel strengthens its positions in the occupied Palestinian cities in the West Bank, the lives of nearly 700,000 Palestinians have come under curfew regulations. On Wednesday, in the divided city of Hebron, when armed Palestinian men took refuge inside a government compound, forces from both sides exchanged fire. The human rights organization Amnesty International states that all Palestinians living in the West Bank are suffering due to Israeli military operations. The closure of schools, destruction of homes, and prevention of harvesting or selling agricultural products are among the consequences of these operations. In response to two recent suicide attacks in Jerusalem, Israeli forces have reoccupied seven out of eight major cities in the West Bank.
