Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday warned that Israel's conflict with Palestinian militant group Hamas will not be a short-term engagement. Palestinian militant group Hamas said an Israeli airstrike in the north of Gaza City killed the head of its Hamas-led security forces. Violence between Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank and Israeli forces and settlers has meanwhile surged amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. On Thursday, three Palestinians in the West Bank including two teenagers were killed by Israeli forces after they stormed the village of Budrus, Palestinian official news agency WAFA reported. More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel over the same period, according to Israeli authorities.
