After three attacks in five days, the tension in the territories continues today (Saturday), and towards Rosh Hashanah and the Tishrei holidays.

On Tuesday, an 84-year-old woman was murdered in an attack in Holon. The terrorist, Musa Tzarzur, a 28-year-old resident of Kalkilia, was found the next morning lifeless after committing suicide in an abandoned house in Tel Aviv.

Yesterday a soldier was slightly injured in a stampede attack near the village of Hawara in Samaria, the terrorist was shot dead.

On the same day, a few hours later, eight people were very lightly injured in a stabbing attack at the Shilot intersection near Modi'in.

The terrorist was shot dead by a police officer who happened to be there. The attacker got out of a car when he stopped at a traffic light at an intersection, opened the doors of two other cars and wounded two men aged 39 and 23. At the same time, he sprayed tear gas at the other passengers in the cars.

In those days, several attempts were also made to harm the security forces and Israeli civilians.

For example, for two nights shots were fired at the settlement of Har Bracha in Samaria.

There were no casualties in either case.

Furthermore, earlier today, a terrorist was shot dead when he tried to run over a soldier and a policeman on Route 60 near the Gilad farm.

The driver of the Palestinian car collided with a police car, and was shot dead by the fighter who was there.

Since yesterday, Golani patrol forces have been reinforcing the Samaria sector ahead of Rosh Hashanah and the Tishrei holidays, in accordance with the assessment of the situation in the IDF and against the background of the fear of terrorist attacks. At the same time, due to the fear of terrorist attacks, the commander of the Judea and Samaria Division, Avi Belot, decided to change the method of departure of soldiers for vacations, who will now stay 17 days at the base And four days at home, instead of 11 days at the base and three at home. Also, the IDF is increasing the security of the main roads, intersections, settlements and the seam line by combining police, security forces and the Shin Bet.

Security officials said that alongside the arrests of terrorist operatives, monitoring of social networks has been carried out in recent weeks, in order to locate those with the potential to carry out an attack.

This, when in the last month there was an attack or an attempted shooting attack every day throughout Judea and Samaria, while there was a decrease in the number of Palestinians shot to death by IDF fire.

Officials in the security system said in the past day that firm messages were sent to the senior officials of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian security mechanisms, according to which if they do not prevent acts of terrorism and violence, the IDF will do so. At this stage, the IDF intends to calm the area and prevent activity that causes friction and unrest.

Meanwhile, at the end of a security situation assessment, Defense Minister Benny Gantz decided to increase the quota of work and trade permits for the residents of the Gaza Strip by an additional 1,500, for a total of 17,000 permits.

The implementation of the decision will begin next week, after Rosh Hashanah, but at the same time security officials sent a message to Gaza that the decision will be implemented on the condition that peace is maintained.
