Türk said the number of Palestinians forced from their homes had passed 3,000. The source ties that displacement to the operation in Hebron and says the figure was reached on the eve of Israeli elections.
No additional operational details are provided in the text. The report does not identify casualties, arrests, or the duration of the crackdown, but it does state that the displacement is linked to the Israeli action in the West Bank city and that the warning was issued publicly by the UN human rights chief.
