some of the best reporting from the war has been, continues to be, Financial Times. this (paywalled) story by Mehul Srivastava is an example of must-read journalism to understand the broader picture www.ft.com/content/99f9...

FT story notes, "As the Israeli army has waged war in Hamas-controlled Gaza, it has placed the West Bank, occupied since 1967, under a tight security blanket. In tactics last seen during the second intifada, or Palestinian uprising that began in 2000, it has closed off most travel between cities, blocked off exits from some refugee camps, and sent troops into the heart of Palestinian cities such as Jenin and Nablus, seeking to root out fledgling militias."

hours after FT story posts, NYT has one with a similar angle, with quotes from a leader from a hard-right settler advocacy org (described, vanilla, as "a nonprofit organization that supports the settlements" - good lord).

How a Campaign of Extremist Violence Is Pushing the West Bank to the Brink

Israeli settlers and Palestinians have been locked in a cycle of bloodshed for decades. But extremist settler attacks could send the conflict out of control.
