Since Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has significantly increased its use of airstrikes in the occupied West Bank, leading to concerns that it is employing military tactics similar to those used in the Gaza Strip. According to Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, there has been a notable escalation in airstrikes, with at least 69 bombings resulting in the deaths of 261 people, including 41 individuals under the age of 19. The number of fatalities has continued to rise, with 28 deaths reported since Jan. 19. Criticism from human rights organizations has highlighted the damaging impact of Israel’s actions in the West Bank, particularly following the ceasefire in Gaza on Jan. 19. The surge in airstrikes raises concerns about the level of force being used by Israel in the region, with some comparing the current situation to the Second Intifada in the early 2000s. The intensification of airstrikes in the West Bank has drawn attention to the growing violence and instability in the area, prompting calls for greater accountability and a reevaluation of Israel’s military tactics.
