Analysts: Ramadan may be the season of settling overdue scores with the occupation. Israel will continue its war on the Gaza Strip during the month of Ramadan.

Analysts did not rule out that popular uprising would escalate in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the 1948 territories in solidarity with the Gazans. There would be no truce during the holy month, the senior researcher at the Al Jazeera Center for Studies suggested. The attack on Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip would be postponed until after Ramadan.
