Last week, Israeli media reported a stabbing attack at the Hizma checkpoint near al-Quds.

This comes amid growing fears in the Israeli occupation entity of an escalation in operations in occupied al-Quds and the West Bank.

It is worth noting that "Israel" has pushed a policy of "maximum pressure" against Palestinians in the West Bank, amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Yet, the policies have failed to stop Palestinians in the occupied territory from supporting their people in the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces' continuous aggression on the occupied West Bank coincides with the expansion of illegal settlements in the territory, the desecration of religious sites, and the incitement of extremist Israeli officials against Palestinians not to mention daily settlers' violence.
