Israel Has Lost Control of the West Bank.

What comes to mind when I say the following? We're about to have a discussion of terrorism in the West Bank, terrorism that was recently and forcefully condemned by the US Ambassador to Israel, as well as politicians across the Israeli political spectrum.

The situation has even reached a point where the Israeli Defense Forces are reportedly set to deploy extra forces into the zone to try and restore order.

Take a moment, reflect on all of your geopolitical knowledge, and take your best guess at the situation we're about to discuss. If images came to mind of, say, Palestinians clashing with the IDF and the US resolutely backing its ally, we'd definitely see where you were coming from.
