In the shadow of the wave of attacks in Jerusalem, security personnel claim that the threats to the population in the east of the city serve the factors that incite children: "To say that only the incitement is the problem is an escape from reality." According to them, statements about "operations and checkpoints" only make the situation worse: "When you show them a horizon - it calms them down"

Officials in the security system claim today (Tuesday) that a combination of continuous incitement and statements by politicians, including the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir, increase the pressure on East Jerusalem and raise the possibility of attacks carried out by "lone" terrorists, who do not belong to a terrorist organization.

This, in the background of the wave of terrorism in recent weeks in Jerusalem, which has already claimed the lives of 11 people.



Now, the security establishment is increasing its efforts to interrupt the sequence of attacks, which were all carried out by terrorists from East Jerusalem, some of them children aged 13 and 14, to prevent inspired attacks and espionage, and to reduce incitement on social networks.



"The incitement on the networks has been accompanying us since 2015-2016 in events of the size of the hour or as the Palestinians call it the 'knife intifada'," said a security official, "therefore, to say that the incitement is the catalyst for the attacks by the boys is an attempt to ignore reality, a kind of escape from responsibility."

"We need to talk to the residents of East Jerusalem, to reassure them. Not to stress them," added the source.

"When you talk to them with slogans such as operations, roadblocks, searches and other threats - they come under pressure. This creates a bad atmosphere and the instigators take advantage of it. What does everyone think? Where do those people who destroyed their homes go? They stay in East Jerusalem as a burden on the local population and create bad blood ".



According to the source, the demolition of the houses in East Jerusalem, accompanied by threats and extreme statements by Israeli politicians do not contribute to calming the area.

The source also said that "there is almost a disconnect between the security establishment, with an emphasis on the police, and the population in East Jerusalem. Each family stands on its own. There are those who are connected to the Jordanian media, some who are close to Hamas, and some who feed on the words of Abu Mazen."

"There were times when community police officers would help the population in East Jerusalem, draw attention to it, help in enforcement events and deal with the creation of community and education frameworks," he explained.

"They really take care of the internal structure, show them a perspective, that they care. It would calm them down and produce normalization. This is not the case at the moment. The trend is the opposite and dangerous."



Security officials warn that there is already talk among the young people in East Jerusalem about preparing for the month of Ramadan and demonstrations in front of the Nablus Gate in Jerusalem, as in the past, as a form of protest against the tense situation.
