Escalating Tensions: Military Strikes and Settler Violence in Israel and the West Bank

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on April 17, 2024. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

While Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank watched Iranian missiles flying overhead en route to Israeli targets, they also had to contend with another fire on the ground. Armed Israeli settlers stormed Palestinian villages. The attacks are part of a wider escalation of violence Palestinians in the West Bank have faced since October 7, 2023.
