Is Israel’s war on Gaza spilling over into occupied West Bank? | Inside Story
On Wednesday, Israeli forces launched a large-scale military operation in the occupied West Bank.
For days, they’ve carried out drone strikes and hundreds of troops have stormed cities and refugee camps.
Israel insists it’s targeting fighters, but Palestinians say it’s attacking homes and civilian infrastructure.
The escalation is raising fears that the war on Gaza is spreading into other Palestinian territories.
So, will the assault open up another military front for Israel?
And how will it affect the ongoing Gaza ceasefire talks?
