                  Israeli forces stand guard next to a barrier as the military closes Hebron's H2 southern sector in the occupied West Bank on January 19, 2026. Troops imposed a curfew on approximately 70,000 people while searching for weapons and wanted individuals, erecting new gates and earth mounds to isolate the area. Following the 1995 Oslo Agreement and 1997 Hebron Agreement, the city remains divided, with H2, including the Old City of Hebron, under Israeli military control while H1 is administered by the Palestinian Authority.
