Uneasy Calm in the West Bank
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - A senior officer from the IDF Central Command admits that there has been a change in the security situation in the West Bank, with local, isolated attacks undertaken primarily by individuals not associated with any organization. These attacks get widespread media attention and encourage others to act against Israeli security forces and civilians. In the meantime, these actions are not inspiring the masses or turning the streets into battlegrounds, but they are enough to increase motivation among other young Palestinians. At the same time, Palestinian Authority security forces in the West Bank have weakened.
