West Bank Risks Security Crisis
The article indicates that the situation in the West Bank is approaching a security explosion due to escalating settler attacks against Palestinians, with warnings of losing control and paralysis within the Israeli military leadership. An Israeli security official confirmed that the army is suffering from hesitation and weakness in implementing decisions due to political and internal pressures, leading to a decline in the ability to respond immediately and effectively to attacks. The events have mainly centered in the town of Qusra south of Nablus, where tensions have risen after settlers reconstructed outposts and controlled roads, resulting in destruction operations by the army and the closing of areas. The military leadership has prepared an additional battalion to strengthen control, while the army faces a crisis in making decisive decisions, amidst the ongoing absence of the head of the civil administration, which further complicates managing the situation. Additionally, there has been an unprecedented rise in the number of attacks since the start of the year, with Palestinian sources documenting over 3,400 assaults in the first half of 2026. This threatens to expand the circle of violence if complacency and paralysis in enforcing the law continue.
