Violence in the West Bank

While the world’s eyes are on the war in Gaza, violence between Israeli forces and Palestinians has been rising in the occupied West Bank too. The UN says that more than 300 Palestinians in the West Bank have been killed by the Israeli army since the Hamas attacks on Israel three months ago. Some have accused Israel of killing Palestinians without cause. We speak to our Middle East correspondent Lucy Williamson, who has been investigating one Israeli airstrike in Ash-Huhada village near Jenin this month, which killed seven men from the same extended family – four of them brothers.

A Japanese author says she wrote her award-winning book with the help of artificial intelligence. We get reaction from writers and artists who use AI as part of their own creative process.

The US company that was hoping to land on the Moon is bringing its failed mission home for destruction today. We speak to a science journalist about the mission.
