AFPPIX: As Israel declared war on Hamas and pounded Gaza following Saturday’s devastating attack by the Islamist movement, violence has risen in the occupied West Bank, risking escalation after more than a year of continuous flare-ups.

The Israeli military has said it is prepared for an escalation in the West Bank and its forces have been on high alert, carrying out arrests and thwarting possible attacks. After hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced out of their homes in the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation, Palestinians have sought an independent state in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.

“Israel is our enemy and occupier and it is our people’s right to defend themselves,” said Palestinian prime minister Mohammad Shtayyeh at a government meeting on Monday, even as several Western backers of the PA considered suspending aid. With uncertainty growing around who will replace the PA’s unpopular octogenarian president, Hamas has been making efforts to expand its influence in the West Bank.
