The war in Iran has coincided with what rights groups say is a surge in violence against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. In the latest incident, Israeli authorities said that soldiers fatally shot four people in a car. The Palestinian Red Crescent said the victims were young brothers and their parents. Two more children survived. The attack happened as the family returned from buying Eid gifts.
