Israel Nearly daily arrests have been raiding the West Bank for months, prompted by deadly attacks against Israelis earlier this year that killed 19 people. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed during that time, many of them terrorists or people involved in conflict, but some civilians have also been killed, including one unintentionally in a war zone and a veteran Al Jazeera journalist covering the raid. .
Israel says that this raid has been done to eliminate the extremist network. Palestinians say the campaign aims to maintain the 55-year military occupation of Israel that they want an independent state.
While the initial bout of violence had largely subsided, attacks against Israel have intensified recently. On Friday, a Palestinian stabbed and wounded an Israeli soldier before being killed. On Sunday, Palestinian gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying a group of Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, wounding five soldiers, one of whom was seriously injured, as well as the civilian bus driver.
