The Take: As missiles fly above, settler violence surges in the West Bank
As the world watches Israel and Iran’s tit-for-tat attacks, Palestinians in the West Bank live another dim reality.

While Palestinians in the occupied West Bank watched Iranian missiles flying overhead en route to Israeli targets, they also had to contend with a different kind of violence on the ground. Armed Israeli settlers stormed Palestinian villages on Saturday night. The attacks are part of a wider escalation of violence Palestinians in the West Bank have faced since October 7.
