In late July 2024, a significant escalation of violence^[2] between the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian militants and protestors erupted in various areas in the West Bank. The unrest began after Palestinian Authority security forces encircled a Tulkarm hospital on 26 July and allegedly attempted to arrest the militant leader Abu Shujaa, who was hospitalized inside.^[3]
