Israeli military forces raided the Muslim Youth Association headquarters in Hebron on Monday, deploying tear gas against Palestinian youth gathered at the site. The operation resulted in the forced closure of the organization’s offices.
Witnesses reported that soldiers fired multiple canisters of tear gas to disperse crowds during the incursion. The raid targeted the facility’s interior, where troops confiscated various pieces of property.

Beyond the seizure of assets, soldiers destroyed equipment inside the association’s headquarters during the search. The military operation left the facility shuttered following the withdrawal of troops.
The Israeli military has not yet issued a formal statement detailing the specific intelligence or operational objectives behind the raid on the organization. No injuries were immediately reported following the use of tear gas in the densely populated area.
Hebron remains a frequent flashpoint for military activity. Tensions in the city have persisted as local community groups report increased interference with their daily operations and organizational activities.
