Israeli Women Killed in West Bank Attack Following Strikes on Lebanon and Gaza

Israel conducted airstrikes in Lebanon and continued bombarding Gaza, sparking fears of a broader conflict following violence over Jerusalem's most sensitive site. An alleged Palestinian shooting attack near an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank killed two women in their 20s and seriously wounded a 45-year-old. The recent tensions in Jerusalem could be spilling over to the occupied territory. The early morning Israeli strikes on Lebanon threatened to push the confrontation into a new phase. Violence has surged to new heights in the West Bank in recent months, with Palestinian health officials reporting the start of 2023 to be the most deadly for Palestinians in two decades.
