Threat of war again as Isareli tanks enter the West Bank for the first time in decades - and the fragile Gaza ceasefire teeters towards failure and a new outbreak of violence and bloodshed

Israeli tanks moved into the occupied West Bank on Sunday for the first time in decades in what Palestinian authorities called a “dangerous escalation,” after the defense minister said troops will remain in parts of the territory for a year and tens of thousands of Palestinians who have fled cannot return.

Israel is deepening its crackdown on the Palestinian territory and has said it is determined to stamp out militancy amid a rise in attacks.
