We almost managed to forget what happened here just two weeks ago, high alert and great tension in Israel and Gaza against the background of the flag parade that ended quietly and without response from the terrorist organizations.
But on the other hand, the event is not quite over yet, and there are those who have not yet recovered from it and the events on the ground that followed.
The Islamic Jihad is not calm.
The organization is concerned about the IDF's ongoing operational activity in northern Judea and Samaria, especially in Jenin, and for them it is "an attempt to destroy the organization's power and vitality.
Jihad is convinced that Israel is slowly working to eliminate the organization's grip on the West Bank, which is something they take seriously.
"We will add to this the two Palestinian gunmen who were killed in clashes in the Jenin area from Israeli army fire only in recent days, and this creates a desire for revenge. "And move on to all this on the agenda, especially if the events continue," a Palestinian source told Israel Today.

"People on the street attack the factions in Gaza over the silence following the march, accusing Hamas and Islamic Jihad of agreeing to contain what happened just to get more money and more permits for workers to leave for Israel. For the jihad, when they are attacked in this way, "Traitors who have abandoned the resistance - this is humiliation. Something that can not be tolerated. In addition, every few days people lose their people in the West Bank."
"The organization will not accept the ongoing humiliation"
According to the source, another matter that is in the background and fuels the Islamic Jihad's desire for escalation, is the attack on the Damascus airport attributed to Israel according to foreign publications.
"The airport in Damascus is a symbol. All over the Arab world there is talk of this matter. It is not a bombing of any site or some positions. There is great anger, and in jihad one sees the tightening of the axis of resistance in the region," he said.
Meanwhile, a sudden statement was issued last night on behalf of the Islamic Jihad leader, Ziad Nahala, stating that "the organization will not accept the continuing humiliation. The daily violations of the enemy in Jerusalem and al-Aqsa, the daily killings of Palestinian people in West Bank cities, "The demolition of the houses, harming the prisoners and ignoring the hunger strike of the administrative detainees, all this requires a serious position on the part of all the national and Islamic forces, and the Palestinian people in all the places where they are."
