Recent U.S.-led summits in Jordan and Egypt have formalized the campaign to quash Palestinian resistance. Now, in addition to Israel’s ongoing offensive, Palestinians must also face the PA, as it hunts the resistance from within.
In the last year, Israeli forces and armed settlers have killed more than 310 Palestinians, while Palestinian attacks have killed more than 30 Israelis.
Three Israelis were injured as a Palestinian gunman carried out the second shooting operation in the heart of Tel Aviv in less than a year, while three Lions’ Den fighters were killed in a failed ambush in Nablus.
Israeli special forces ambushed three Palestinian resistance fighters in their car. The killing was so brutal that images of the slain fighters were asked not to be circulated out of respect.
Leaders from the resistance factions in Gaza vow that the West Bank will not be left alone in facing the ongoing Israeli onslaught, while many in Gaza view the Palestinian Authority as complicit.
The Israeli army launched yet another massive military invasion on bastions of Palestinian resistance, this time in two simultaneous raids on Nablus and Jenin.
The Israeli campaign to quash armed resistance in the West Bank continues to intensify. However, a new generation of fighters says they will continue to resist due to the reality of living under occupation.
Calling for nonviolence does not mean abandoning the right to armed self-defense. It means the tactical use of these methods in the same way that the civil rights movement did.
Amidst Israeli army assassinations and settler terror, Palestinians rally around armed resistance in a showing of spontaneous mass mobilization that has not been seen in decades.
