Alongside the ongoing war in Gaza, tension remains high in the West Bank, and several terror attacks took place in the region last week. However, at this point, the Palestinian public didn’t respond to calls from Hamas and the Islamic Jihad to confront Israeli forces and carry out widespread attacks.
Since October 7, security forces have been working to dismantle terror infrastructures throughout the West Bank, with daily reports of clashes between IDF soldiers and terrorists in various parts of the West Bank.
