As the raid continued into daylight, a group fired on the Israeli troops, leading to an airstrike.

And from the BBC:

Troops came under fire and a drone was used to attack a group of gunmen, the IDF said. The bulldozers ripped up the already badly damaged streets.

The IDF said troops re-entered the camp hours later, coming under renewed gunfire. Another drone was used to attack gunmen again, it said.

Something makes me think more than half of those 18 dead were shooting when they were killed.

Sometimes deadly clashes have been taking place between the IDF and Palestinians in the West Bank as Israel has imposed widespread and often draconian closures on Palestinian cities and as extremist settlers have also launched attacks.

In Israel, meanwhile, police detained four prominent Arab-Israeli politicians, among them Mohammed Barakeh, the chair of the Higher Arab Monitoring Committee, a group comprising political and civil society leaders from the Israeli Arab community, over plans to organise a protest in Nazareth against the war in Gaza.

Something makes me think it got something to do with the oppression. Idk, just a feeling, don't quote me on this.

The vast majority of the international community considers the settlements illegal under international law, though Israel and the US under the Trump administration dispute this interpretation.

And from the BBC:

Annexation is the term applied when a state unilaterally proclaims its sovereignty over other territory. It is forbidden by international law. A recent example was Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula in 2014.

By and large, Israel has been warned by friend and foe alike not to go ahead with annexation. There are fears that such a move will put peace between Israel and the Palestinians even further out of reach.

The UN's Middle East envoy has warned that Israeli annexation and Palestinian counter-steps "would dramatically shift local dynamics and most likely trigger conflict and instability in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip"

Something makes me think Israel shouldn’t be occupying the West Bank.

The Palestinians were simply exercising their right to self defense.
