Gantz declared war on incitement, but the Palestinian agitation on the Internet is increasing - and fueling Jerusalem
Just yesterday the Minister of Defense emphasized the importance of preventing incitement to terrorism online.
However, since the attack at the Shuafat checkpoint, many videos are posted on Tiktok every day praising the terrorists, who have not yet been caught, and calling for the murder of Jews.
Meanwhile, the incitement spills over to the Palestinian street, where pictures of terrorists have been hung

On video: Riots and clashes in East Jerusalem, October 13, 2022 (Israel Police Spokesperson)
The security tensions reached a peak in the last month, when attacks were carried out against the security forces or against civilians every day, and in many cases several times a day.
In the last week, the escalation in Samaria spilled over to East Jerusalem as well, and the area became a battlefield.
One of the main causes of unrest on the Palestinian street is the incitement against Israel on social media, which causes many of the young people to participate in particularly violent riots.
The terrorist group "Lions' Den", which is responsible for many attacks in recent times, started its journey on Tiktok, which has become a fertile ground for serious incitement.

Just yesterday, Defense Minister Benny Gantz, in his assessment of the current situation, emphasized the importance of informing the Palestinian population and the need for activity to prevent incitement.
However, Israel has long been losing one of the most important battles for it.
Videos glorifying terrorists and calling for terrorist acts and the murder of Jews are posted daily on TikTok, and these calls do not stay on the social network.
Just this morning, Nablus celebrated the "Morning of the Martyrs", and pictures of terrorists were hung in central places in the city.
Meanwhile, almost a week after the attack in which Sergeant Noa Lazar fell, and two days after the attack in which Sergeant Ido Baruch fell, the IDF has still not been able to catch the terrorists, and on social media the Palestinians are praising them and calling for imitation events.
