Straight to a fox news alert, just in, brandnew images from the west bank. This appears to be clashes likely between palestinians there and Israeli Defense forces. Just remember in the west bank there are various zones, area a, area b, area c, some are in Israeli Military control, others in palestinian military control. Multiple checkpoints you come in and out of controlled by the idf, depending on level of security. I have been in an area like that caught in crossfire. In a moment youth arabs can take on a checkpoint in the west bank. West bank is separate from what you see on your map in the gaza strip. Brian might plug in a map of the west bank. Ariana ound ainsley they are hours ahead of you. Fbi is warning americans to be vigilant, major cities are on alert, chicago, philadelphia, l. A. , in europe, they are feeling the same way. This guy, who they are saying is former hamas chief, they said he is still actively involved, asking protesters to take to the street to deliver message
Increased its raids in the west bank, and at least a dozen palestinians have been killed by israeli forces as a result of what israeli forces have said were violent situation. and just the night before last, rockets were fired from gaza into israel. it s the second time rockets were fired in a week. israel and the military respond with what they called the most significant air strikes since the 11-day war. keep in mind it was clashes and violence and tension in jerusalem, like we re seeing right now that helped spark that 11-day war. but i do have to say it doesn t seem like at the moment militants in gaza are gearing up for another major escalation, but hamas, which is the militant group that runs gaza has warned their finger is on the trigger as they watch the situation unfold in jerusalem. we re continuing to monitor the situation right now at the al aqsa mosque compound. things can change quickly, but now it s been a full week of violent clashes we re seeing at this very holy site
Hamas, none of that has changed, but what we are seeing at the moment is incredible levels of tension in jerusalem. 0bviously incredible levels of tension in jerusalem. obviously there is hope on all sides to de escalate because the very sight of interest in de escalation and so far what we are seeing is despite these very mid level escalations of violence and clashes and individual people attacking one another injerusalem and political provocations, for example the jewish settlers who marched deep inside the west bank yesterday, all of those could escalate, but so far we have not seen it spread to the gaza area other than one rocket which for us is just like hamas saying, other than one rocket which for us isjust like hamas saying, hi! brute isjust like hamas saying, hi! we onl have isjust like hamas saying, hi! we only have a isjust like hamas saying, hi! we only have a minute left but it always comes down to proportionality, 17 palestinians killed in their territory since
Owned the land here, and when israel took control in the 1967 war it soon passed a law that says israeli jews could try and reclaim property they say they owned prior to 1948. and palestinians say they don t have the same sort of legal recourse to claim back land they say they lost and is now the state of israel. this legal battle has been going on for many years and it s part of the tension in jerusalem, he east jerusalem in the past few months and in the past few years. we are seeing protesters gathering here around this case. even if the supreme court denies hearing this appeal, it would essentially mean the evictions could move forward, but israeli media is reporting the government may not carry out the
It s not dominated by hamas, palestinian islamic jihad, by fatah, which is in power in the west bank. it s actually governed by like a 28-member board. which has seats representing 18 different political parties and simple society groups. it is a wide group of people who are all organizing this. they have split off into satisfactoryious subcommittees. they really are looking at this in terms of the long haul. it wasn t just the past seven weeks of protest. this was for them a protest movement that sets itself apart not just in the way that it s trying to protest against israel but in the way it s setting itself apart from hamas and the other groups dominating the gaza strip. this is a complicated issue. we are glad you are in the region to hem us create context. i want to take a moment to understand the history, and why moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem is such a contention issue. the main tointd of tension in jerusalem centers around the old
