Terror

Hamas movement is now focusing on Judea and Samaria and is working to establish terrorist cells and encouraging the residents to embark on an armed intifada against Israel.
It is a strategic decision stemming from a desire to allow the Gaza Strip to rest from the rounds of fighting against Israel and out of fear of losing the movement’s civilian achievements.

The Islamic Jihad began drawing lessons from the last round of fighting against Israel and prepares for the next round of fighting.
The leadership of the organization made a series of wrong decisions, Iran is disappointed with it and Hamas is gaining more power at its expense.

Unlike previous rounds of fighting against Israel, this time the Islamic Jihad surprised and adopted a new tactic of psychological warfare against Israel and an attempt to drag it into a war of attrition.
Israel managed to isolate the Islamic Jihad, took the initiative and eliminated its military leadership, but its deterrence will be tested again in the coming days.

In Cairo, the talks between the Egyptian intelligence and the leadership of the Islamic Jihad continue in an attempt to reach a formula for a ceasefire while Iran is trying to torpedo the negotiations.
The Islamic Jihad feels humiliated and is looking to save its prestige, it is looking for an “image of victory” in the form of harming the Israelis or fulfilling the conditions it has set for Israel.

One of the most important achievements of the “Shield and Arrow” operation is the assassination of the senior Islamic Jihad leader Tarek Izz a-Din, who was responsible for the military establishment of the Islamic Jihad in Judea and Samaria.
In addition to establishing armed terrorist groups, the Islamic Jihad is trying to establish in Judea and Samaria a system of manufacturing and launching rockets that will threaten the cities of Israel.
