At the start of this week, Israel launched its most intense airstrikes on the occupied West Bank in nearly two decades and sent hundreds of ground troops into a crowded refugee camp, saying they are trying to root out armed militants after a year of escalating violence. In this Squiz Shortcut, we lay out the basics of the conflict between Israel and Palestinians and get across the latest development. Here's our 2021 Shortcut on the Israel-Gaza conflict. Other things we do: Squiz Today - a daily podcast and newsletter that gives a fact-filled run-down of what’s making news. Squiz Kids - a news podcast for curious kids. Age-appropriate news without the nasties!
