Palestinian resistance operations have increased in the West Bank. Observers believe that the occupation has been unable to control them due to the development of cells and the self-resistance ideology among the Palestinians.
Security expert Major General Wassef Erekat says that the recent operations are “as qualitative as the testimony of the occupation itself,” whether in terms of their perpetrator, timing, method, choice of targets, and the extent of their impact on the Israeli army and society. New wave of resistance is characterized by their succession in the form of guerrilla operations.
