Hundreds of pieces of sheet metal and plastic cover the asphalt. Two cars with exploded bumpers collide, airbags open. The greasy smell of mechanical oil spreads through the screams. On a road in the West Bank, a Palestinian car just hit an Israeli vehicle head-on this Tuesday. With trembling arms, a veiled old woman cries, sitting on the sidewalk.
Quite a picture. In the Palestinian territory, cohabitation, historically harsh, is becoming unbearable these days. On Tuesday, the army launched a major military operation in Jenin, in the north of this territory that Israel has occupied since 1967 in defiance of international law. Code name: “Iron Wall”. In the evening, local authorities reported 35 injured and ten dead — “ten terrorists,” according to Tel Aviv.
