West Bank, Israeli tanks fire tear gas at Palestinians



After striking in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel has recalled air force reservists and bolstered its troops in the territories in a clear message to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.

Tension in the Middle East is skyrocketing and today it was aggravated by a new Palestinian attack in the West Bank, with the killing of two young sisters (21 and 16 years old) and the serious wounding of their mother (48 years old).

Even in Jerusalem, on the Esplanade of the Mosques, the situation seems to hang by a thread, even if for the moment there are no serious incidents, with the police continuing to patrol the place in force.

After the rain of rockets fired from Gaza (one of the 44 fell on a house without causing casualties) and from the Palestinian factions linked to Hamas from the south of the Country of the Cedars,

Israel responded overnight by hitting three sites in Lebanon and over ten in the Strip, including two tunnels and various positions of the armed faction.

However, he has chosen to lift the restrictions on the Israeli communities around Gaza, thus favoring the return to a normal life and not in shelters.

The Palestinian bombing was carried out on Road 57 in the northern Jordan Valley in the West Bank, near the Hamra interchange.

The two victims (according to some reports, also of British nationality) were traveling together with their mother - all from the Jewish settlement of Efrat, near Bethlehem - in the same car which was riddled with bullet holes.

fired from another vehicle and then run off the road.

At first it was thought to be a car accident but everything changed when the emergency services and the police found bullet holes in the vehicle.

The father and husband of the victims who witnessed the scene were traveling in another car.

The Palestinian bomber fled and is now wanted by the security forces.

"Our forces are now engaged in the hunt for terrorists. It's just a matter of time, not long, and we'll settle the bill," Netanyahu said while visiting the site of the attack for the first time publicly with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, whose dismissal has been frozen.

Then, referring to external enemies, the prime minister warned: "They will discover that we are united,
