Expansion of operations in Jenin is expected. Haaretz: Gaza lives in an unusual state of silence

Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - The Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" said, on Tuesday, that Gaza is living in a state of extraordinary silence, despite the tense security situation in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and in view of the dimensions of what is happening there.


According to Amos Harel, the reporter and military analyst in the newspaper, Amos Harel, in his analytical report, the extent of Hamas's influence on what is happening in the West Bank is still weak, despite the movement's great efforts to ignite the situation there. .


According to Harel, most of the recent detainees who participated in shooting operations, whether inside Palestinian cities during incursions or through attacks, said in their investigations with the "Shin Bet" that they did not sympathize with any organization, and did not act on instructions from anyone.


And he considered that what is happening in Jenin and Nablus and the daily friction, and the fall of Palestinian victims, seems to have affected the scope of events in other areas of the West Bank and Jerusalem, which explains the operation that took place at the Shuafat checkpoint in an attack that is the first of its kind in Jerusalem in recent weeks.


And he indicated that the Israeli army still distinguishes between 3 different areas, the first is Jenin, in which the Palestinian Authority has completely lost control, which is what prompted the army to operate daily there, and the second in Nablus, the shooting operations increased, but the authority is trying to some extent to control its anger at the armed cells, especially The Lions' Den, while the third is in areas south of Nablus, which the authority still controls, and the number of attacks and frictions there is not high.


He pointed out that the General Staff of the Israeli army believes that the tensions in the West Bank do not require an operation along the lines of "Defensive Wall 2" and that there will be a need in the future for a large-scale activity that will focus on the Jenin area and possibly Nablus.
