Different Tactics, Same War: The Perils of Treating Israel’s West Bank Offensive as Separate From Gaza

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:22:17 GMT

On November 10, a couple of Israeli settlers, accompanied by a soldier, entered the Palestinian village Tuba in the rural south of the occupied West Bank, opened the residents’ water tanks — their only source of water — and watched the water spill to the ground before leaving, unfettered. A few weeks earlier, in the Bedouin shepherding community of Wadi al-Seeq east of Ramallah, an armed group of settlers assaulted and threatened the community, as they have been doing for months. The next day, the residents of the West Bank community, about 100 Palestinians, packed up their belongings and left. On October 28, an armed Israeli settler shot and killed Bilal Muhammad Saleh while he was harvesting olives near Nablus.These are the kinds of incidents that typify life in the occupied West Bank and have only intensified and increased since the October 7 Hamas attack, in which thousands of Palestinians raided Israel and killed 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, and took over 200 hostages.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — At the inaugural Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix, music and entertainment have taken a dominant role. As the elite motorsport experiments with the new race, A-list events are ubiquitous in Sin City, an unignorable part of the celebration.Here are some of the highlights.DAY TWO: TRACK DAMAGED BUT THE BEAT GOES ONOn Thursday, at a Sinatra-themed restaurant in the lobby of the Encore casino, Colombian reggaetonero J Balvin emerged in all black leather.He’d performed the day before at the Las Vegas Grand Prix opening ceremony — the only artist to perform a song not in English, his Usher-sampling “Dientes.” On Saturday, he’ll close the race weekend with a longer performance, making him the only musician to take the stage at this inaugural Formula One race twice. In many ways, it is fitting: F1 is a global sport, Balvin is a global artist, and music has become increasingly integrated with the sport.“No matter where you’re from, your language, people jus...

ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar (AP) — Madagascar’s incumbent President Andry Rajoelina held a commanding lead Friday as votes were counted in an election boycotted by the majority of candidates and marked by low turnout. Preliminary results released by the island nation’s elections management body, Céni, showed the 49-year-old former DJ with 71.26% of the votes cast on Thursday. That compared with his nearest rival Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko’s 10.67%. Former president Marc Ravalomanana was third with just under 10.08% of the vote. Ravalomanana is one of 10 candidates who boycotted the election, alleging that conditions for a legitimate and fair vote hadn’t been met, but their names remained on the ballot. Although less than 9% of polling stations had been counted by Friday midday, some pro-government media outlets in the country have already headlined an overwhelming victory for Rajoelina. “It’s done,” screamed a headline in the Madagascar Express.“Very likely victory in the first r...

Officials are cautioning residents in Broward County after a pipe burst at a water treatment plant.The Southern Regional Wastewater treatment plant, located at 1621 N.14th Ave, had a 48-inch pipe that failed, which caused wastewater to be discharged around the plant, as well as the Echo Golf Course, located at 1451 Taft St., and West Lake.

A new cancer treatment developed by researchers at Mass General Brigham is showing promise, using a gel to deliver cancer drugs for solid tumors. The gel, which requires only a single injection, has induced tumor regression and has improved survival in mice, according to an announcement this week from Mass General Brigham. Detailing their findings in a recent paper, researchers are targeting colon and breast cancers.Dr. Giovanni Traverso, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT and a gastroenterologist at Brigham Women’s Hospital, recently spoke to 7NEWS, saying he is excited for what the new treatment could mean for patients. “It’s really transformative to try and help patients whose tumors are very resistant to therapy,” Traverso said. Traverso continued, saying cancer treatment has evolved “over the past decade plus” to use a patient’s immune system.“There are several wonderful drugs right now that can help harness the immune system to help cle...
