Israeli troops raided two Palestinian cities, in an attempt to suppress rising militancy in the northern West Bank, which has seen over 600 Palestinian deaths.
The tragic backdrop to this violence is the ongoing conflict in Gaza, illustrating the intertwined nature of violence in the region and its repercussions.
