RAMALLAH, West Bank — Israel has escalated in recent days its raids in the West Bank amid growing resistance, specifically in Jenin and Nablus in the north, in tandem with its pressure on the Palestinian Authority (PA) to arrest wanted Palestinians.

In the early hours of Oct. 3, Israeli forces killed two Palestinians who allegedly attempted to run over soldiers during a raid in the Jalazone refugee camp near the city of Ramallah to arrest a wanted Palestinian.
