Let me introduce you to a few so called “soldiers”. These Israeli conscripts congregate a few hundred meters away as young children arrive home from school. They shoot teargas directly at the kids and have murdered numerous here at Aida refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.… pic.twitter.com/JvwtcyGqeb

The West Bank has been popping off this whole time.
The media isn’t really reporting on it much, because the narrative of this war is very tightly controlled to not allow the people of the West to understand that we could at any point be 48 hours away from a total global war involving every major power.
But yeah, there’s an ongoing chance of total intifada in the West Bank.
It’s probably surprising that that hasn’t happened yet.
Israeli settlers attacked two Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank late on Saturday, killing one man and torching a car, Palestinian authorities said.
The Palestinian ambulance service said a 38-year-old man in the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan, in the northern West Bank, was shot in the chest and died as residents confronted settlers and Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli military said soldiers arrived at the scene and used live fire to break up the confrontation between residents and settlers. It said Palestinians shot fireworks in response and an Israeli and four Palestinians were injured. The incident was being examined and had been handed over to police, it said.
In a separate incident, Wajih Al-Qat, the head of the local council of the village of Madama near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, said a group of about 15 settlers had burned a car and broke the windows of a house with stones.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the incident.
The attacks are the latest in a series of similar incidents involving settlers that have drawn condemnation from world leaders including the US president, Joe Biden, whose administration is expected to impose visa bans on extremist settlers.
The Israel military works with the settlers to do these attacks on Palestinians. This has been going on this whole time.
