Three Israeli police officers killed in West Bank shooting incident

Recent violence in the West Bank has resulted in the deaths of three Israeli police officers, who were shot and killed in a terrorist attack near the Tarqumiyah checkpoint, south of Hebron. This incident occurred amidst a rise in Palestinian and Israeli violence, following Israel's military raids on Palestinian cities. The attack is part of a larger escalation of violence in the region, with Israel having killed over 500 people in the West Bank since launching its war on Gaza on October 7. In response to the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to "settle the score" with Hamas, stating that those responsible for killing hostages do not want a Gaza truce.
