Figures leave no room for doubt: Terrorism has been surging

A military official tells Israel Hayom that Israel is "at the height of a terrorist wave," resulting in more than 15 brigade-level operations by the IDF Central Command.

The spike in security-related incidents this week, as well as a surge in small-scale incidents that do make headlines because they don't result in casualties, is more than just a coincidence, officials told Israel Hayom.

"We are now at the height of this terrorist wave," a military official told Israel Hayom, pointing out the facts on the ground that support this. More than 15 brigade-level operations have been carried out by the IDF Central Command recently, two of which were carried out over the past two weeks following the IDF operation in Jenin. The official noted that in some of the raids, troops have been dealing with improvised explosive devices hidden beneath the surface, just like in Jenin. The official added that more than 100 terrorists have been detained in the latest Central Command raids.

According to the official, the figures leave no room for doubt that the terrorists have reared their heads. Over the past week, at least three cells were eliminated before they could perpetrate attacks, and since the start of 2023 more than 750 weapons have been seized, although this probably represents only a fraction of what has been trafficked. 

As a result of this terrorist surge, settlers have recently lashed out at GOC Central Command Yehuda Fuchs for not cracking down on Palestinian violence and not using his powers to the full extent when it comes to roadblocks and weapon confiscation. However, such attacks have been criticized across the board, since the overall response to the new situation would have to come from the prime minister and defense minister.
