Escalating Tensions: West Bank Braces for Gaza's War

Palestinian militants in the West Bank, including fighters from the Jenin Brigade, are engaging in armed rebellion against the Israeli occupation, as the conflict in Gaza spreads to the West Bank. Frustrated with the inability of the Palestinian Authority (PA) to protect them, these fighters are responding to Israeli army raids, settler attacks, and land confiscations. The ongoing war in Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, has heightened tensions and fears of a similar fate in the West Bank. The PA's Western-backed security forces, seen as complicit in maintaining the occupation, are increasingly being targeted by Palestinian protesters. The situation is further exacerbated by the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where hospitals are overwhelmed and basic supplies are scarce.
