Israeli army attacks are increasing in the West Bank, which is gradually becoming the second front of the conflict after the Gaza Strip.
With more than 300 deaths already, the West Bank is becoming a new important theater in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. IDF attacks are increasing in the Palestinian refugee camp of Nour Shams. The father of a 21-year-old boy who was killed by an Israeli rocket along with five other teenagers condemns the army's actions: “They like it in Gaza, they look for Hamas fighters, but they don't find them.” So you take revenge on people like us. They shoot, they bomb civilians in revenge.”
A brigade actively wanted by Israel
Civilians hung tarpaulins over the camp's alleys to blind Israeli drones. France 2 met two fighters from an IDF armed resistance brigade actively sought by Israel who said they supported the October 7 attack carried out by Hamas. “After what Hamas did on October 7, the people in the camp felt emboldened. “Israel seemed strong and invincible, but Hamas showed its strength,” one man said.
Israel, which wants to destroy the brigade by all means, blows up the houses and orders evacuations. “Why we? We have no connection to politics, the armed resistance or even the Palestinian authorities. “We’re just traders,” a man asks. Since October 7, 315 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank.
