UK security and counter-terrorism

April 2024

  • PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-CONFLICT-RABBI<br>Israeli soldiers deploy near a Palestinian house during a raid to find Mohamed Fakih, a Hamas militant accused of murdering an Israeli rabbi earlier this month, in the village of Surif, north of the West Bank city of Hebron on July 27, 2016. Mohamed Fakih was killed and several other people were arrested in the hours-long raid. The July 1 attack saw a car targeted by gunfire south of Hebron, leading to a crash that killed the rabbi and wounded three family members. Hebron is the scene of frequent tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Several hundred Israeli settlers live in the heart of the city under heavy military guard among around 200,000 Palestinians. / AFP / HAZEM BADER (Photo credit should read HAZEM BADER/AFP via Getty Images)
