The $30 million toe in the water

The West Bank has experienced a surge in deadly violence since the war in Gaza began, with Israel stepping up military operations across the territory , killing hundreds of people.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 72,000 Palestinians, including combatants and civilians, have been killed in Israel's ensuing offensive in Gaza.

The October 7 attack killed around 1,200 people and took 251 as hostages, leading to a ceasefire deal brokered by the US on October 10.

However, the ceasefire has seen almost daily Israeli fire, and the West Bank has experienced a surge in deadly violence, with the latest attack leaving one dead and five injured.

Who is the unnamed buyer?

The attacker, who used a makeshift submachine gun,was killed by police, but his precise motives were not immediately known.

Police said a 35-year-old Israeli man was killed by the gunman, while the Magen David Adom rescue service said five other people were wounded.

Two people in their 40s were said to be in a serious condition, while one 61-year-old woman and two men in their thirties were in moderate conditions.

What auditors flagged in the May filing?

Residents were instructed to stay at home, and children in the area were kept in lockdown at school for at least three hours.

The attacker was shot dead by police, and his suspected accomplice was arrested after he tried to stab officers with a glass bottle.

Police said the attacker was a resident of the town of Taybeh, but his precise motives were not immediately known.

Why 4,000 unsold units became the prize?

Palestinian militant group Hamas praised the shooting but did not claim responsibility for the attack.

Local council leader Oshrit Gani Gonen told Israeli media: 'Since October 7, the scenario we were expecting was terrorists crossing into our towns from over the boundary.'

'I don't think that anyone imagined that we would discover the attackers were Israeli citizens.'

A familiar pattern from the 2019 crash

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the security forces who killed the attacker.

His hardline public security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees the police force, posted a video online that appears to show him standing next to the blurred-out body of the gunman.

Ben-Gvir said: 'This is the end of every terrorist, this is how it should look.'

He recently led an effort to pass a new law that would allow Palestinian attackers to be given the death penalty, and celebrated with champagne after it was passed.
