The conflict in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has intensified as Palestinian attackers carry out bolder assaults and the Israeli military increases its raids on Palestinian cities. Recent attacks include a shooting at a border crossing, attempted car bombings, and a drive-by shooting. Analysts note a more organized effort by militant groups and attribute the complexity of the attacks to support from Iran and the weakness of the Palestinian Authority. The escalation in the West Bank is occurring alongside wider battles in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen, reflecting regional outrage at Israel. The ongoing conflicts have heightened internal divisions and external vulnerabilities for Israel. Militants in the West Bank have been emboldened by the fighting in Gaza and express support for Hamas's attack on Israel. Israeli actions, including military raids, road closures, settler attacks, and settlement authorizations, have further stoked Palestinian anger. The Israeli government's decision to give far-right settler leaders a greater role in West Bank governance has also inflamed tensions. To stymie Palestinian attacks, Israel has stopped over 100,000 Palestinians from working in Israel, creating economic hardship and desperation among West Bank residents. The situation has led to concerns about a potential third front in the ongoing conflicts. The Israeli military has conducted expansive operations in Palestinian cities, resulting in clashes, casualties, and damage to infrastructure. However, these raids have not tempered the militants' abilities, and analysts predict a growing escalation in the future. Both Israeli and Palestinian analysts believe that unless there is an end to the war in Gaza, the situation in the West Bank will continue to worsen.
