ISRAEL GAZA WAR

MITZPE YAIR, OCCUPIED WEST BANK -- NOVEMBER 9, 2023: An Israeli settler watches nearby as reservist soldiers, settlement residents, local and some volunteers from Israel and the United States prepare for a close quarter combat weapons training in an empty building that is still under construction, in Mitzpe Yair, an Israeli settlement that sits close to the town of Susya, Occupied West Bank, Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023. As Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza unfolds amid the bombed buildings and deaths of more than 11,000 Palestinians, the increasing violence in the West Bank, which has been occupied by Israel since its 1967 war with Arab nations, is threatening to open another front in the conflict. Armed settlers man checkpoints and at times descend on Palestinian lands destroying hundreds of olive trees and blocking villages in deadly provocations that have led to retaliatory knifings and ambush shootings by Palestinians.
