In recent days, the Palestinian media, especially social networks, did not stop talking about possible Israeli assassinations against Palestinian leaders or others, after the security incidents that escalated recently, especially during the month of Ramadan, after the short round, during which dozens of rockets were fired from several fronts that surprised Israel. With the admission of its security services, which put it in a dilemma regarding responding to what happened.

A report appeared on Hebrew Channel 12 two days ago that Israel is studying the possibility of changing its policy by returning to the policy of assassinations . "Independence Day celebrations" (the Palestinian Nakba), without any security tension.

The news focused more clearly on returning to the policy of assassinations as a response to any Palestinian attack, especially during celebrations.

The news came in the Hebrew media, with the continued calls issued by the far-right ministers in the Netanyahu government, especially Itamar Ben Gvir, to return to this policy.

This news, which was translated differently in the Palestinian media, sparked a lot of controversy, especially on social media, by some media professionals, activists, and even analysts who went too far with many scenarios, until many called it mere "media glamor" and part of the war. Psychological.

There is no doubt that the Israeli occupation may resort to carrying out assassinations, and it did not stop it in the first place, especially outside the Palestinian territories, using various methods. Another was against Ali Al-Aswad, one of the leaders of the Islamic Jihad in Syria, who was found to be active in military action as a military engineer for the organization, which began in recent years to expand its activities. Outside Palestine, however, it is unlikely that he will resort to such an operation at the present time for several goals, most notably his unwillingness to launch a military escalation that would open all fronts against him.

Despite the inciting Israeli reports against Hamas Vice President Saleh Al-Arouri in particular, it is estimated that it is an attempt to shed light on his activities, especially after the rockets were fired from Lebanon and accuse the movement of standing behind them, but it does not mean that Israel, if it was able to reach him by the methods it uses as usual. In the manner of assassinating personalities outside Palestine such as Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, Ali al-Aswad or others from the list that goes on.

Mustafa Ibrahim, a specialist in Israeli affairs, told Al-Quds.com that returning to the policy of assassinations is a basic demand that far-right ministers such as Ben Gvir and Smotrich constantly demand, in light of the recent erosion of Israeli deterrence, especially last year and the beginning of this year.

And Ibrahim stated that this issue has taken on a propaganda nature more than the reality that Israel seeks to avoid by engaging in an operation that could lead to war on several fronts, pointing out at the same time that this does not mean that there are intentions on the part of the occupation or estimates that it is possible to carry out such operations as it did against Palestinians, Iranians and others outside Palestine.

He pointed out that any assassination would require a political decision, but presenting it in this media manner is merely a psychological war and media and political propaganda aimed at creating a new deterrence process.

He pointed out that the Palestinian analyzes of the issue went far beyond the occupation’s vision of this issue in light of the Israeli security establishment’s focus on unifying the squares, which appeared more evident in the last period, especially the events in the month of Ramadan, which made Israel think carefully before taking any action. An assassination step or a specific operation and fears a response from those fronts.

And he indicated that Israel usually works secretly and away from the media, cautiously and silently, and does not go out to the media when it decides to assassinate a person, and what was reported in the media may be just an attempt to please Ben Gvir and Smotrich, pointing at the same time to the importance of the resistance having a state of caution in anticipation of any Israeli treachery.

He pointed out that this media propaganda was accompanied by a lot of Palestinian analysis in various media outlets, which raised a state of fear and anxiety among the citizens. And to take a decisive decision regarding it in light of the lack of security experience of the cabinet ministers, especially Ben Gvir and Smotrich, and their leaking of everything that is going on in the cabinet sessions.
