Hebrew newspaper: The end of the wave of attacks from the West Bank without a clear horizon
Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - The Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom said, on Wednesday, that the wave of continuous attacks from the West Bank , especially Nablus, does not seem to end soon, despite its decline in the last week as a result of the Israeli army's operations that it is carrying out deep in the Palestinian territories and in broad daylight. .
The newspaper says that despite this understanding of the Israeli army, the truth is that "Israel is facing the peak of a wave of terrorism, the end of which does not appear at this moment with any clear horizon."
And the newspaper adds in a report by its military correspondent, Lillach Shoval: "In the security apparatus, they are currently consoling themselves that terrorism does not include all cities in the West Bank and is concentrated only in its north, especially Jenin, where the Palestinian Authority has completely lost control."
She points out that the Palestinian Authority began to show greater effectiveness in Nablus after the United States put pressure on it, while the south of the West Bank is the least active, because the Authority effectively controls the field.
And she considered that the Palestinian casualties, which have reached 100 since the beginning of the year, which is the largest number since 2015, increases the desire for revenge among the Palestinians, and every successful operation will lead to additional operations with its inspiration, and therefore it is not possible to say with certainty the possibility of success in breaking the currently emerging circle.
She drew attention to the talk about the possibility of carrying out Operation Defensive Wall 2, which the security services and the Israeli army, which does not want to stay for a long time in the Palestinian Authority areas, exclude, while some are calling for tightening measures against the Palestinians through closures, imposing a security cordon, withdrawing work permits, and others, with the aim of Putting pressure on the population there, while the Israeli political left is pushing for the political process, but it is an illogical option in light of the current reality. As Shoval says in her report.
It indicates that Israel, on the eve of the elections, takes measures, including flooding the field with its forces, arresting potential perpetrators of operations based on intelligence information, and pressuring the authority to work more, while the security establishment hopes that the perpetrators of the operation will despair at this stage on their own, so they hide the wave of attacks alone, as it was in years. precedent.
