Since Hamas’s brutal terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, war has raged in Gaza. The stated goal of the Israeli leadership is the complete eradication of Hamas. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths of Palestinians.
Meanwhile, in the West Bank, Hamas is growing in popularity as tensions rise with the Palestinian population there, adding to the concern of a widening conflict in the Middle East.
Frontline correspondent Ramita Navai reports on the rising support for militant groups as Israel launches incursions into the West Bank. Navai reports that the Palestinian Authority has lost the support of most people in the West Bank amid new waves of violence.
