The Conflict
The Conflict between Israel and Palestine has been a conflict ever since the Israeli state was established. The rivalry stems from disputed ownership of sacred land. The area that they are fighting over is known as the West Bank and both governments deem it to be holy land. Currently they are still fighting and both political entities are being bombarded by high powered artillery day and night.
