The Jenin refugee camp has become a hotbed for armed terrorist groups, as they relentlessly work to rebuild their terrorist infrastructure, which the IDF had previously dismantled.
This resurgence has raised serious concerns within the security establishment, which now predicts an imminent return of the IDF to counter these threats. The Palestinian Authority’s (PA) lack of determination to combat terrorism adds to the urgency of the situation.

The terrorist organizations are encouraged by the internal dispute in Israel on the issue of judicial reform, they estimate that the IDF is in the process of disintegration and plan to increase the attacks in Judea and Samaria. The IDF must take the initiative and act against the terrorist nests in the refugee camps while giving priority to the demolition of the terrorist infrastructure in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the Tulkarm area.

The planned reconciliation meeting in Cairo faces jeopardy as Palestinian factions threaten to boycott it. The key concerns lie in the ongoing wave of arrests in the Jenin area and the demand for the release of all political detainees by the Palestinian Authority (PA). The IDF refrained from entering the Jenin area to allow the PA to arrest wanted terrorists. To avoid sabotaging the Cairo meeting, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas may halt arrests temporarily.
