Hamas appears to be slowly escalating tensions along the Gaza Strip’s border with Israel, seemingly in an attempt to deter Israel from reinstating its policy of targeted assassinations against terrorist leaders in the Gaza Strip. Israeli security officials are cautioning that any escalation along the Gaza-Israel border could result in the suspension of humanitarian aid provided to Gaza’s residents.
Although the Oslo agreement faced considerable challenges and ultimately failed to achieve its intended goals, both the PLO and Israel have refrained from canceling it, recognizing its historical significance and the complexities of the region’s security situation over the past three decades. Israel, in particular, made a strategic decision to maintain the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) governance in Judea and Samaria, acknowledging its importance in the ongoing fight against terrorism.
Mahmoud Abbas, the Chairman of the PA is actively working to bolster his standing within the Biden administration and to reclaim renewed legitimacy for his leadership. Abbas is orchestrating a comprehensive overhaul of the PA’s institutions to fortify its influence on the Palestinian populace and to eliminate antagonistic elements within its security apparatus.
Hezbollah is capitalizing on the rising crime rates within Israel’s Arab community to bolster its efforts in smuggling weapons into the country and recruiting criminals into its ranks.
This worrisome activity poses a heightened security risk for Israel, as the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency, is concerned that Arab criminals seeking vengeance against the police and the state might align with Hezbollah.
Recent developments indicate Egypt’s active involvement in preventing potential targeted assassinations of key terrorist leaders. Specifically, Israel declined an Egyptian plea to commit to avoiding a reversion to the practice of targeted killings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders.
With the leaders of these terrorist organizations retreating into hiding in Gaza due to their apprehensions of Israeli strikes, they’ve taken unprecedented precautions in regions such as Syria and Lebanon.
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 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.
Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, is attempting to establish a new deterrence equation against Israel, warning of the potential to bring the nation back to the Stone Age by leveraging the substantial arsenal of weaponry at his disposal.
Nasrallah is pursuing a strategy of attrition along the Israel-Lebanon border, but he aims to avoid an all-out war with Israel.
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.
