The West Bank has been the scene of tensions since August 2015, when Israel imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem al-Quds.

Around 280 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces during the violence since October that year, when the tensions escalated.

Israeli forces have been under fire by international rights groups for using excessive force and extrajudicial killings of Palestinian people.
