West Bank: A BBC investigation into alleged war crimes

As part of an investigation into the conduct of Israel's security forces in the West Bank, which has been under military occupation for more than half a century, the BBC has pieced together what happened on the day two boys were killed. With violence having surged in the enclave in the months since the Hamas led attack on Israel on 7 October, the BBC team also found evidence of civilians threatened with weapons and increasing tensions.

On today’s episode, Katya is joined by director Josh Baker and reporter Isobel Yeung. They discuss what they saw and share the interviews they conducted on the ground while navigating gun battles, combat raids and secret meetings.
