A senior Israeli intelligence official said earlier this week that the terror in Yehudah and Shomron is likely to get worse in the coming year.
Speaking at a military think tank conference, Brig. Gen. Amit Saar, the head of the IDF’s Military Intelligence Research Department, said he believes that Israel is facing more than just a “wave of terror” that will pass, as other waves did in the past.
Saar elaborated that the foundations that allowed Israel to maintain control over the Palestinians in the past are teetering, such as the fact that the Palestinian Authority is not considered legitimate by young Palestinians. Additionally, Palestinians in Yehudah and Shomron now have ready access to weapons, easing the way for shooting attacks against Israelis.
According to the IDF, there have been 281 shooting attacks and attempted shooting attacks against Israeli civilians and security personnel this year, in comparison to 91 last year.
Saar added that young Palestinians are exposed to a huge amount of incitement and are full of anger. “I see young Palestinians waking up at 4 a.m. just to throw rocks at IDF vehicles. They’re angry and they also lash out at the PA, Hamas, and other organized terror groups.”
Not all Israeli security officials agree with Saar, with some believing that the terror wave is just that – a seasonal terror wave.

No. For them 👍.
its time for Israel to start locking off some of the WB cities and surrounding them with a tall impenetrable wall like there is in Gaza. this must be done right away for the safety of the yidden.
its only a matter of time before the PA looses complete control over the areas and then things in Hebron, Jenin, and Nablus become mini Gaza-like city states infested with terror groups, illegal weapons & Jihad.
Yup, it’s going to get a lot worse. A lot worse. Muslims never should have been subjected to a godless non-Muslim regime. Their autonomy should have been respected wherever they resided in Yisroel. Their humiliation has accumulated. They all now have a death wish and ideate revolt. This is exactly what the regime wants—the regime wants them to revolt. A whole lot of ugly dark economic activity relies on getting them to revolt, like military-industrial complex stuff, military budget increases, foreign aid increases, excuses for more forms of surveillance and control, opportunities for innovations in riot control technologies. Also, the brainwashed Zionist fools rally round their polyester flag when the Muslims get unruly. Camaraderie and support for the regime increases cuz these fools put their faith in the regime to protect them when it gets ugly. So, it makes a lot of sense the regime would want to kick the hornets’ nest. Ask yourself cui bono (who benefits)? The regime… Whoever benefits usually creates the benefit. Sorry to say it’s the godless regime, but it is. Am I the only one who gets this? The regime that most Jews praise literally wants to anger Muslims so much that they flip out and start killing Jews. That’s the honest truth you never get in any Zionist indoctrination. Sorry to burst your bubble of delusion, but the godless regime in Yisroel considers you expendable and probably wants Muslims to murder you, so now they’re warning you that their plans to get Muslims murderous are succeeding. You need to hate the regime with all of your heart and to daven for its destruction speedily in our days.
