In the hills of southern Hebron, in the West Bank, a dozen small villages, the inhabitants see every week a string of diplomats, members of NGOs, activists, journalists...

This paves the way, some say, for the largest operation to displace Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since the Six-Day War in 1967.
