This incident adds to the numerous attacks Palestinians have launched against Israeli citizens in recent years, including shootings, stabbings, and vehicular assaults.
The frequency of violent incidents in the West Bank has increased significantly since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 terrorist attack from Gaza, which sparked the current conflict as Israel continues its efforts to secure the release of hostages.
