Polls: Growing support for Hamas as Israeli army kills Palestinian in West Bank raid | DW News

At least one Palestinian has been killed in the occupied West Bank in an Israeli army raid. That's according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

In the city of Ramallah, Molotov cocktails and other projectiles were thrown at Israeli military vehicles. The clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians also damaged buildings and some shops.

This comes as opinion polls show Palestinian support for Hamas, which is concidered a terrorist group by multiple countries, is growing in the West Bank. The same polls indicate that the Palestinian Authority – which governs the territory – is losing support.

For more on this, we talk to Joost Hiltermann. He is the Director of the Middle East and North Africa program at the International Crisis Group. The group assists policymakers on conflict prevention. He is joining us from Brussels.

And we talk to journalist Hazem Balousha. Hazem reported from the Gaza Strip for more than a decade. He is now in Jordan's capital Amman.
