Last weekend was packed with security incidents in Judea and Samaria, but despite the calls for a day of rage and mass riots, the area remained calm and few Palestinian citizens went out to demonstrate. The Nablus sector was also relatively quiet.
Will it lead to escalation? The terrorist organization ‘Gov Aryot’ calls to continue trying to harm Israelis
An IDF soldier was injured in disturbances in Samaria: the Palestinians report five wounded
However, in nearby Hawara there were violent clashes between Jews and Palestinians during the weekend. On the one hand, roadblocks and throwing stones at Israeli vehicles traveling on the road on the way to their place of residence, which caused, among other things, the minor injury of an Israeli girl, and on the other hand severe violence by settlers and damage to local businesses.
Security officials warn of the trend, which may lead to a flare-up and escalation and even harm the soul. In the meantime, the security agencies are having difficulty enforcing the order in place.
Since the attack in Shuafat a week ago, in which the fighter Noa Lazar was killed and David Morel was seriously injured, the terrorist, who managed to escape, has been receiving many praises on Palestinian news websites. At the end of the week, a video was published in which young people from Shaafat are seen, who shaved their heads to make it difficult to catch the terrorist who carried out the attack in the crossing, and who fled into the neighborhood. The terrorist Udai Tamimi is a shaven head. Videos were also published on local websites and on the Tiktok network that include songs of praise for Tamimi, who as far as is known acted on his own accord, and is not recognized as belonging to any organization.
Moreover, the social network Tiktok blocked the search for the “Lions Den” terrorist cell on Friday. The search shows an ad that the content of the account “violated the guidelines of the social network” and was therefore blocked. The squad took responsibility for several deadly attacks in the Nablus area, including the shooting attack in which the 21-year-old Givat fighter Ido Baruch was killed near Shavi Samaria. The squad relies on social networks to spread its positions, and has often uploaded videos of terrorists.
