Settlers Occupy Hebron Home, IDF Fails to Intervene

Settlers in Hebron, West Bank, have occupied a disputed building named "Beit Hacherut" (Freedom House) despite lacking the necessary permits, while the IDF has turned a blind eye. The settlers claim to have purchased the property through a fundraising campaign, but the transaction is still under verification. Two Palestinian residents have petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court, arguing that they are the rightful owners. The court claimed the building was uninhabited and denied the petition. The settler group, "Harchivi Makom Aholech," follows a systematic approach to acquire Palestinian houses, providing legal support to buyers and protection to sellers. Hebron is home to a Jewish community living in an area under Israeli control, amid a larger Palestinian population, and has been the site of frequent violent incidents.
