Middle East Violence Escalates Amid Israel-Palestine Tensions.
TL;DR Summary
A shooting in the West Bank that killed two Israeli sisters and injured their mother has exacerbated fears about escalating violence between Israelis and Palestinians. The attack came after Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, which were in response to a bombardment of rockets fired from Lebanon. The violence has been escalating due to tensions over Israeli police twice raiding the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem during Ramadan services. The new Israeli government's nationalist policies have also been blamed for the escalating violence against Palestinians.
