Escalating Violence in West Bank: Israel-Hamas Conflict Intensifies

As Israel intensifies its raids and arrests in the West Bank following the conflict with Hamas in Gaza, militancy in the region is surging. Thousands of Palestinians have been arrested and dozens killed, leading to increased anger and radicalization among young militants. The crackdown, aimed at preventing armed resistance, may have the opposite effect, as it fuels resentment and strengthens the resolve of militant groups. The situation in the West Bank is tense, with the ruling Palestinian Authority largely absent and militants taking control. Residents fear that the violence will only escalate further.
