Clashes continued on October 8 between Israeli security forces and Palestinian demonstrators in the West Bank while multiple stabbing incidents in Israel raised tensions amid fears of a new intifada.
On October 7, footage, such as that shared by Agence France-Presse and Shasha.ps, showed what appeared to be undercover Israelis, with support from IDF soldiers, drawing guns, firing live ammunition, and beating demonstrators.
