West Bank under heaviest military attack since 2005

An estimated five Palestinians have been killed and 500 arrested so far, as Israeli armed forces raid the West Bank on the pretence of finding three missing Israeli teenagers. This is the largest military offensive by Israel against the West Bank since the second intifada, 2000 – 2005.  Meanwhile the struggle continues against administrative detention and torture of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. A 63-day hunger strike by Palestinian political prisoners ended on 25 June.
