Israel's Struggle with Settler Violence and Military Tactics in Palestine.

The Israeli army's recent drone strike on a Palestinian squad responsible for shootings in the West Bank is seen as a sign of the government's readiness for new, more aggressive tactics. However, the surge in violent incidents in the West Bank has led to mounting pressure on the government to take action against settler rampages. The settlers' leaders are demanding a broad operation in the territories of the Palestinian Authority, but the IDF's General Staff prefers to avoid this. The ongoing violent rampaging of settlers continues to draw a weak response from the political leadership and the security establishment.
