Drones, raids, and a creeping normalisation of settler power in the West Bank

A raid near al-Bireh made visible a quieter shift: armed civilians ferried by drone alongside troops, a configuration the wire grammar edits out. The structural story is what the kinetic lede erases.

Desk note: This rewrite is built on a skeleton whose wire citations did not survive to this date. The piece is filed as explainer/analysis rather than news, working from the original draft's stated thesis (the under-reported element is the armed-civilian dimension of the drone story) and the documented institutional context. No specific casualty figures, quotes, or dated events beyond the al-Bireh settlement geography have been introduced.
