From the New York Times, I'm Sabrina Tavernisi, and this is a special episode of the daily.
The eyes of the world have been on the war in Gaza, which has no end in sight.
But there is another conflict in the other palestinian territory that has gotten less attention, where life has become increasingly untenable.
The West bank.
They demolished the school.
They demolished most of the houses overnight.
In the occupied West bank, the israeli military has carried out new raid.
It's part of an upsurge in violence.
Across the West bank involving palestinian armed groups, israeli settlers and israeli forces.
Today, I talked to my colleague Ronan Bergmandeh about why things are likely to get worse and the long history of the extremist political forces inside Israel that he says are leading the country to an existential crisis.
It's Wednesday, September 18.
So, Ronan, as weve seen in recent weeks, the war in Gaza is nowhere near a ceasefire.
And in the West bank, theres this increase in violence, a rise in israeli and palestinian terrorism.
