From the transcript

Over the past several days, not by Palestinian territory under Israeli authority, has been rocked with violence. But this time, the battle on bloodshed comes, not in the war-torn Gaza Strip, once encircled by Israel, and now ravaged by the Israel Hamas War.

Instead, the violence takes place in the West Bank, a large stretch of territory between Israel and Jordan, where Israel has maintained an occupation for many decades, and where some half a million predominantly Jewish religious settlers live in a tenuous balance with roughly three million Palestinians.

Over night on Wednesday, August 28th, Israeli forces streamed into the territory in a major operation split between several West Bank cities. On Thursday 29th, the operation continued, backed up by helicopters, armored vehicles and more.
