Violence Surges in the West Bank Following Gaza Attack on Israelis

RAMALLAH, West Bank—Israel’s devastating bombing campaign on Gaza after last week’s Hamas attack has fueled deadly violence in the West Bank, where concerns are rising that the territory could erupt into another front in the war. In the wake of the Hamas attack that killed 1,400 Israelis, most of them civilians, in southern Israel, Jewish settlers have attacked Palestinians and security forces have clashed with protesters, as Israel tightens its grip on the area to prevent further attacks. At least 56 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to Palestinian health authorities.
