Palestinians returned to damaged homes in Hebron in the occupied West Bank on Monday after the Israeli military concluded a 10-day operation that the UN says displaced more than 3,000 people in the city. Residents found many of their homes in disarray after troops searched them. The withdrawal ends a period of intense military activity that drew international concern over civilian displacement, but leaves the city's population coping with the aftermath and damaged property.

Why it matters:The operation and displacement add to tensions in the West Bank and pressure on Israel's international standing over civilian harm.
