Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967. Tensions are often high between Israeli forces and Palestinians living in the West Bank. About 2.8 million Palestinians live in the West Bank, alongside 475,000 Jewish settlers, mostly considered illegal by most of the international community. The war between the Israeli military and Palestinians started in 1948 after the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
Palestinians living in Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the West Bank often say that they have suffered a lot because of Israeli forces. Palestinians also claimed that the Israeli government is directly responsible for the Jewish settlers’ practices in the West Bank. Palestinians reportedly want the occupied West Bank as part of their future independent state. Last month, the Israeli army arrested more than 20 Palestinians during a raid in the occupied West Bank.
