Escalating Tensions in the West Bank: Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Intensifies

In a significant escalation of violence, the Israeli military killed five Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The incident followed the shooting of a pregnant Israeli settler, sparking calls from Israeli leaders for harsh retribution against Palestinian towns.
