The recent terror attack in the Hebron area marks another instance of Hamas’ ongoing attempts to undermine the settlements enterprise in Judea and Samaria, with the intention of causing its collapse.
Hamas has reactivated its dormant units to carry out shooting attacks against settlers.
The Defense Cabinet has granted authorization to Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Galant to initiate a series of measures aimed at enhancing Israel’s deterrence and quelling the surge of terrorism. High-ranking security officials predict that Israel will resume targeted assassinations of Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders abroad, leaving minimal evidence behind.
Encouraged by Iran, Hamas is making efforts to inflame the Hebron region, which has remained relatively peaceful until now, through acts of terrorism targeting the IDF and settlers. The IDF must take decisive action to prevent the spread of terrorism into southern Judea and Samaria. This necessitates striking at the heart of the terrorist groups located in the refugee camps of northern Samaria.
The surge in terrorist activities in Judea and Samaria can be directly attributed to Iran’s escalating involvement. Over the past two years, Iran has significantly increased its provision of instructions, funds, and weaponry to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, fuelling unrest and instability in the region. Iran’s objective is clear: it aims to incite a new intifada against Israel and transform Judea and Samaria into a fresh front for its hostile endeavors.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet are actively preparing a series of operations in the Jenin area to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure known as the “Al-Ayash Battalion.” This group is responsible for manufacturing and launching rockets aimed at Israel. Security officials in Israel emphasize that no terrorist enjoys immunity, and soon, the IDF will take action within the Jenin refugee camp, where members of this infrastructure are believed to be hiding.
Syrian President Bashar Assad Criticizes Hamas Leadership for “Treachery and Hypocrisy”. Despite the recent official reconciliation between the Syrian regime and Hamas, President Assad remains opposed to allowing Hamas to establish offices in Damascus or create a military presence in Syria.
Mahmoud Abbas, the chairman of the PA, is actively working to restore the PA’s international legitimacy, which has been eroded over time.
Despite this, senior Israeli officials view his current actions as mere surface-level changes, criticizing his lack of resolute action against armed terrorist groups in northern Samaria.
Iran is driving Hezbollah into a protracted conflict against Israel on the Lebanese border, while simultaneously pushing terrorist groups in northern Samaria to engage IDF forces on another front of attrition. Israel’s response to Hezbollah’s actions should be resolute, even if it leads to several days of intense fighting on the northern border.
The United States is applying considerable pressure on the PA to address terrorism in the Jenin region and reinstate security control in northern Samaria. The PA has devised a security plan to counter terrorism in Jenin, with a primary focus on persuading armed terrorist groups to disarm.
Hamas forcibly suppresses the protest movement that arose in the Gaza Strip against the difficult economic situation and the corruption of its rule. The Israeli security establishment is worried about an imminent explosion in the Gaza Strip that Hamas will try to deflect in Israel’s direction.
