Cities in the West Bank are currently under the tension following the US-Israeli attack on Iran, where shrapnel from Iranian missiles has reportedly fallen in various locations. One incident involved remnants of a missile landing in the town of Sammu, located in southern West Bank. Meanwhile, Israeli air defense systems are active, causing sirens to sound frequently in Israeli settlements, urging residents to seek shelter, while those in the nearby West Bank remain largely indifferent, choosing to witness the missile interceptions and hear the sounds of the falling debris firsthand.

In response to the heightened state of emergency, Israeli forces have closed the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Ibrahimi Mosque, pushing worshippers out and enforcing a ban on gatherings in the Old City. The Palestinian governor's office in Jerusalem has reported these closures, framing them as necessary actions under the pretext of maintaining security amid the ongoing conflict. The situation has resulted in heightened tensions in the area, with worshippers and shoppers being tracked and confronted in these historic and religious sites.

As the crisis unfolds, residents in the West Bank are rushing to stores and fuel stations, driven by fear and uncertainty about the unfolding violence. The rush signifies a growing anxiety within the community as they navigate the challenges posed by the Israeli military presence and the escalating regional conflict marked by US involvement. This deterioration of safety and security further complicates the already tense dynamics between the Palestinian populace and Israeli authorities, raising concerns of broader implications for peace in the region.
