Violence in the occupied area has surged since Israel began bombarding the Gaza Strip.
RAMALLAH: Violence in the occupied West Bank has surged since Israel began bombarding the Gaza Strip and clashing with Hezbollah at the Lebanon border, fuelling concerns the flashpoint Palestinian territory could become a third front in a wider war.
Clashes between Israeli soldiers and settlers and Palestinians have already turned deadly. More than 70 Palestinians have been killed in West Bank violence since Oct 7 and Israel has arrested more than 800 people. Hamas was trying to “engulf Israel in a two- or three-front war”, including the Lebanese border and the West Bank, military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus told Reuters. “The threat is elevated,” he said.In Ramallah, rare chants this week supporting the military wing of Hamas – a rival of the PA’s ruling Fatah party – showed a growing appetite for armed resistance.
Palestinian officials and Israeli analysts say a number of factors are both helping to ignite tensions, but conversely also limiting their scope, for now.Hamas cited attacks on West Bank Palestinians and arrests this year as part of its reason for attacking on Oct 7. Between the seat of power in Ramallah and poorer peripheral areas, there are multiple views on the benefits of violence.
