War between Israel and Hamas: the West Bank, second front of the conflict – (France 2)
Attacks by the Israeli army are increasing in the West Bank, which is gradually becoming the second front in the conflict after the Gaza Strip.
With a death toll of more than 300 already, the West Bank is becoming a new important location in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. In the Nour Shams Palestinian refugee camp, IDF strikes are increasing. The father of a 21-year-old boy killed by an Israeli rocket, along with five other young people, denounces the army’s actions: “They do like in Gaza, they look for Hamas fighters but they don’t find them. So they take revenge on people like us. They shoot, they bomb civilians out of revenge.”
A brigade actively sought by Israel
Above the alleys of the camp, civilians hung tarpaulins to blind Israeli drones. France 2 met two fighters from an armed resistance brigade in the IDF, actively sought by Israel, who say they approve of the October 7 attack perpetrated by Hamas. “After what Hamas did on October 7, the people in the camp felt encouraged. Israel seemed strong and invincible, but Hamas demonstrated its strength. said a man.
Israel, which wishes to destroy the brigade by all means, dynamites the houses and orders evacuations. “Why us ? We have no connection with politics or armed resistance, or even the Palestinian authorities. We’re just traders“, asks a man. 315 Palestinians in the West Bank have been killed since October 7.
