Hamas Is Trying to Open a New Front in the West Bank
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - According to a senior IDF officer, a "large part of the [Arab] population in the West Bank is very violent and wants to carry out attacks. Only this year we succeeded in thwarting hundreds of terrorist attacks and we have arrested more than 2,700 people, but every month between four to eight attacks are successful." Dr. Barak Ben-Zur, former head of the Israel Security Agency's Intelligence and Research Division, said recent incidents are "a part of the new initiative of this organization [Hamas] that decided to open a new front in the West Bank."
