Violence disrupts three religious holidays in Israel

The World

Israel and the West Bank are on edge. One of the worst outbursts of Palestinian-Israeli violence has broken out there in years. The Israeli military has stepped up attacks on militants in the West Bank, killing at least five Palestinians in the past day. That’s after a Palestinian killed two Israelis and wounded many more at a bar in Tel Aviv last week. Tahani Mustafa explains to host Marco Werman that this violence comes during the confluence of three major religious holidays in Israel. She’s the West Bank analyst with the International Crisis Group in Amman, Jordan.
