The immediate trigger for the current conflict was the murder of three Jewish teenagers in Hebron, on the West Bank. Israel, blaming Hamas, arrested hundreds of its members in the West Bank, though it has never explained the basis of its accusation.
当前冲突的直接原因是三名十几岁的犹太少年在约旦河西岸的希伯伦（Hebron）被杀。以色列指责哈马斯需对此事负责，在约旦河西岸抓捕了数百名哈马斯成员，但从未解释这一指控的理由。
