A security official said today (Monday) in a conversation with Walla!

Because the World Cup final also affected the tensions in the territories.

According to him, "the extent of friction and violence in the territories of Judea and Samaria has decreased, just yesterday there were several large viewing centers for the final match in several cities in the region. Although one case ended in beatings and stabbings, in general it diverted attention in the public discourse from everyday problems."



The source noted that the World Cup also raised the issue of the Palestinian issue.

"The issue was expressed throughout the World Cup by waving flags in the stadiums and on the streets of Qatar, and it was also expressed on social networks, creating a kind of pride for the Palestinians," he explained.

"It cannot be ignored and it will probably have consequences on the ground."

In the meantime, during the night the security forces arrested 13 wanted persons in the Judea and Samaria region, and among other things confiscated weapons and means of warfare.

During the activity near Kfar Fahma, fire was opened at the fighters, but no one was injured.

In addition, the military source noted that over the weekend, terrorist operatives circulated through the Telegram account of the organization "Gov Aryot" which is trying to rehabilitate itself, a call for armed men in Judea and Samaria to go out and carry out attacks.
