Israel’s use of airstrikes in the occupied West Bank has increased dramatically since October 7, 2023, causing concern that tactics used in Gaza are now being deployed in the West Bank. According to Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, there have been at least 69 airstrikes in the West Bank since October, resulting in the deaths of 261 people, including 41 children. This surge in airstrikes is unprecedented, even compared to the Second Intifada in the early 2000s.
B’Tselem spokesperson Shai Parnes described the increase in airstrikes as severe and deadly, highlighting the destructive path that Israel has taken in the West Bank. The escalation in military operations in the West Bank has been particularly pronounced since the ceasefire in Gaza on January 19. The use of airstrikes in the West Bank has raised concerns about human rights violations and the impact on civilians, especially children.
The rise in airstrikes in the West Bank has sparked fears of a further militarization of the region and has raised questions about Israel’s use of force in response to Palestinian resistance. The ongoing conflict in the region continues to exacerbate tensions and contribute to the loss of innocent lives. Human rights groups are calling for an end to the use of airstrikes and for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the West Bank.
