>> Palestinian militant factions began a ceasefire early this year, but low-level violence has continued.

"low level violence" being when you catch a couple of rounds through the head.

"high level violence" is when you are blown to bits while buying a newspaper at a bus stop.

You are sadly mistaken: high level violence is when one catches it in the upper extremities. Low level violence is when one gets it in the lower parts of the body. Spanking, for example, is low-level, while jerking by the hair [with the same educational purpose] is high. There also is a middle-level violence.
