JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel said Thursday it would establish 22 more Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, including the legalization of outposts already built without government authorization. In the Gaza Strip, Israeli strikes killed at least 34 people, local health officials said.

Israel captured the West Bank, along with Gaza and East Jerusalem, in the 1967 Mideast war, and the Palestinians want all three territories for a future state.
