In the past month, there have been three shooting incidents around Huwala, confirming the danger of escalating conflicts during the Muslim fasting month.

Ramadan, which coincides with the Jewish Passover, has seen frequent violence in the past.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque, a well-known holy place in Jerusalem, held its first Ramadan prayers last Friday (24th), but fortunately ended peacefully.

But the next night, Israeli police stormed the temple to drive away Muslims, claiming they intended to "violate public order" and disrupt Israelis' early morning prayers and visits to worship.

Israeli and Palestinian officials made a promise to curb violence during Ramadan at the negotiating table in Egypt only last Sunday (19th).

However, on the same day, a Palestinian gunman attacked an Israeli couple in Huwara, wounding two people and severely damaging the car.

Last month, a Hamas gunman attacked a car in the same town, killing two Israelis. Local Israeli groups then set fire to Palestinian cars and houses in retaliation, killing at least one Palestinian.

Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said recently that Israel must not allow attacks in Huwara to become routine, and "when we are attacked, we must take counteraction."

Smotridge's radical remarks caused criticism from all walks of life.

In the past year, the Israeli army has arrested thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank of the Jordan River and killed more than 200 Palestinians, including many unarmed civilians. .
