On video: Hamas training in Jenin (Walla system!)

The terrorists in Jenin today released a training video in which they appear armed and looking towards Israeli settlements with intentions to carry out attacks.

A short video that symbolizes four distinct phenomena in recent times: the scope of attempts to carry out shooting attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli citizens in the Yash is on the rise.

Another trend is the proliferation of weapons and ammunition in Israel, a media effort by the terrorist organizations to highlight the activities of the militants in Samaria, and the effort of the IDF and the Shin Bet to thwart the intentions of the terrorist organizations and local organizations through: round-the-clock arrests, including in daylight, and entry into the heart of cities and camps The refugees are also at the cost of friction and high risk.

But the reality above the surface is worrying mainly because of the proliferation of weapons. An example of this was given after the killing of the wanted terrorist in Nablus, Al Nabulsi. His mother, not only praised and praised his work and the fact that he became a martyr, but also went out into the street when she Holds a weapon to encourage other young people to join Hamas and GA.

The Hamas propagandists distributed videos of her and Al Nabulsi Jr. fighting IDF soldiers. It is important to note that the IDF conducts intensive activities in the Hebron governorate to locate weapons and ammunition every week, but the Palestinians do not report this and prefer to glorify the armed resistance in Samaria.

These images, it is important to emphasize, weaken the Palestinian security mechanisms and the Palestinian Authority in general. The proliferation of weapons in the hands of the militants intensifies the feeling of lack of governance.

According to sources in the security system, closing the seam line with a wall, renewing the smart fence, investing in sensors and security forces in the area, mainly In Htmar Menashe and Htmar Ephraim, creates great pressure on the terrorist organizations and arms dealers on both sides of the border, Israeli and Palestinian.

The sources claim that the average price of the rifle has risen in recent months from 80,000 shekels to 120,000 shekels, and as the IDF increases the pressure, the price of the rifle and the bullet will increase radically and accordingly the violence of the smugglers will increase. According to the security sources, the pressure from the terrorist organizations and the arms dealers to smuggle out And ammunition is also reflected in the intensity of the exposure of smuggling at the crossings of the seam line and at the Jordanian border and the assessment is that the transition to the use of violence and firearms against police and military forces during smuggling, similar to the Egyptian border, is a matter of time.

In addition to this, the IDF tries to act in a smart way, such as placing ambushes and patrols on roads in a way that will thwart shooting attacks in real time, and the forces practice closing roads very quickly after reports of shooting attacks.
