This is the best summary I could come up with:


Terrified children and desperate mothers line the corridors of Jenin’s public hospital, taking shelter from Israeli soldiers as they raid a nearby refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

While much of the focus on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war has been on the Gaza strip, Palestinians in the West Bank are facing a multitude of threats, from air strikes above to settlers and soldiers on the ground.

Dr Bakr said he was not part of any resistance organisation, but was a policeman off-duty working in the hospital cafeteria selling sandwiches to make ends meet.

The UN says that violence involving Israeli settlers has doubled from three incidents per day earlier this year to seven, with 171 attacks against Palestinians recorded in the week since 7 October.

Just over a week later on 2 November, at least 10 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces across the West Bank, including five people from Jenin, local sources told The Independent.

The city was still reeling from a catastrophic two-day raid in July, where 12 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier were killed, when retaliations for Hamas’ assault began.
