As the world slept, the West Bank woke up to a deadly dawn. The Israeli Defense Forces launched a drone airstrike in the city of Tubas, killing five young Palestinians.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the tragic news, while the Palestinian Red Crescent Society condemned the Israeli occupation's attacks on its crews.

But what if this assumption is wrong? What might the author have missed? Is the Israeli occupation really justified in its actions?

Samaria, a biblical term used by Israel to refer to the northern area of the West Bank, has been a hotbed of conflict for decades.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society's medical teams transferred five bodies from Tawheed Mosque in Tubas to the hospital, while in the nearby town of Tulkarm, a paramedic was targeted with live bullets while treating an injured person.

A Helicopter crash claimed the lives of two IDF soldiers.

So far, at least 36 Palestinians have been killed in a nine-day operation in the West Bank Tubas, Tulkarm, and Jenin areas.

Children were among those killed.

What do you think is driving this violence, and what can be done to stop it?

The truth is, the West Bank is a complex and volatile region.

The Israeli occupation has been ongoing for decades, and the conflict shows no signs of slowing down.

But what if we took a step back and looked at the bigger picture? What if we considered the historical and social context behind the conflict?

Perhaps then we could find a solution that works for all parties involved.

Perhaps then we could bring peace to a region that so desperately needs it.

The question is, are we willing to take that step?
