Israel has recently stepped up its sweeps in the Palestinian West Bank, vowing to arrest all militants “with Israeli blood on their hands.” The Wall Street Journal reported that the Israeli army launched a large-scale manhunt in the West Bank town of Jenin from the 12th to the 14th, and surrounded the town. On the 14th alone, 12 people died and hundreds of people were arrested in refugee camps and hospitals. At the same time, the latest public opinion polls in the West Bank showed that since the bombing of Gaza, the West Bank people’s support for Hamas has surged. to more than three times. Most young people regard Hamas as an idol and are eager to end the Israeli occupation by force, which also sows the hidden worries of more violent conflicts in the future.

《wall street journal” quoted a United Nations report as saying that the Israeli army surrounded the hospital and prohibited people from entering and exiting during the three-day manhunt. Palestinian health ministry officials in the West Bank said Israel had searched at least 400 buildings, confiscated weapons and claimed to have seized a “bomb-making factory.” Residents said some Israeli soldiers with bulldozers destroyed many buildings during the search.
Israel claimed that the raids were aimed at rooting out terrorists and militants hiding in the West Bank, but the United Nations pointed out that Israeli troops killed an unarmed teenager on the campus of Khalil Suleiman hospital; Blocking an ambulance also indirectly led to the death of a 13-year-old boy. Not all casualties were combatants. Israel did not respond to this request.
The United Nations report reads:
“During this operation, Israeli troops surrounded three main hospitals in Jenin and blocked the path of ambulances, even those carrying injured people.”
Israel has continuously launched attacks on West Bank towns in recent years, including ground attacks and aerial drone bombings, claiming it is to prevent the West Bank from becoming a “sanctuary for terrorism”, especially targeting densely populated areas around local refugee camps. Since the Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalated in early October, Israel has not only continued to bomb Gaza, but the West Bank, which used to be considered relatively peaceful, has also been devastated by arrests.

▌Hamas support increases
Ironically, as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict intensifies and Israel and Hamas enter a desperate stalemate in Gaza, the support for Hamas in the entire Palestinian region has increased.Significant rise。
After two months of relentless bombing, the Gaza people’s support for Hamas has increased, but only from 38% three months ago to 44%. On the contrary, in the West Bank, support for Hamas exploded from 12% to 44%. The Palestinian Center for Policy and Polling (PCPSR) in the West Bank surveyed 1,231 people in Gaza and the West Bank between November 22 and December 2. Among them, 481 Gaza residents were interviewed during the one-week temporary ceasefire at the end of November. The statistical error range was 4 percentage points. PCPSR specifically pointed out that in view of the special situation of the war, the polling error value was 0.5% higher than usual. .
In the Gaza region, which suffered heavy casualties and was almost in ruins, only 57% of the people believed that Hamas made the right decision to launch the attack in early October; but in the West Bank, as many as 82% of the people believed that Hamas was right. Nearly three-quarters of those surveyed across the wider Palestinian region identified with Hamas. Overall, only 10% of Palestinians believe that Hamas has committed war crimes, and the majority of the rest said they have “not seen videos of Hamas committing evil deeds.”
However, it can be seen from the data that the people of Gaza, who have been ruled by Hamas since 2007, are highly critical of Hamas; while the support of the people of the West Bank is likely to be more due to their own government PA dissatisfied. Overall, 88% of Palestinians want Mahmoud Abbas, who has been president for more than 19 years, to step down, 10% higher than three months ago. In the West Bank, 92% want him to resign, with only 11% people recognize his political achievements. Palestinians generally believe that the PA regime is corrupt and incompetent, only obedient to Israel and Western countries, and unable to protect the rights and interests of Palestinians.
Israel’s violent raids in the West Bank have become more frequent, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has intensified its grievances. The picture shows a funeral in the West Bank on the 14th…
After the war began, the Israeli army and settlers attacked West Bank residents more frequently. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the West Bank stated that at least 271 people have died at the hands of Israeli soldiers and civilians since October, 69 of whom were children. The Israeli army has continuously launched attacks in major towns such as Jenin and Nablus in recent days. It is unknown how many civilians and combatants are among the dead and captured.
In addition, Israeli soldiers were also chargedMade deliberatelyActions that are “extremely insulting” and provoke religious confrontation, such as reading Jewish prayers loudly in a mosque, etc. The PA authorities severely condemned this, criticizing the Israeli army’s tough raids for escalating the conflict in Jenin, but the Israeli army only responded by restraining the soldiers.
In recent years, Israel has accelerated its occupation of the West Bank land that belongs to the Palestinian state. It often drives bulldozers and jeeps to monitor towns and attacks resistors or civilians mercilessly and indiscriminately. The hatred between the Israeli army, settlers and Palestinian residents is only growing. deep. “BBC”reportPalestinian young people are facing increasingly severe situations, and they are more attracted by the idea of armed resistance. They dream of overthrowing the Israeli occupation by force, and the calls for violent resistance continue to rise.
Raed Debiy, a West Bank political scholar, pointed out that Hamas’s October attack not only shocked Israel, but also shocked the Palestinians and was a turning point. “In the past 30 years, the younger generation has not had good role models and idols, and now they are seeing a change and a different story is taking shape,” Dabiei said. His 11-year-old nephew also has no good impression of President Abbas, and instead treats Kazakhstan as his own. Mas spokesman Abu Obeida as an idol. Dabiyi quoted his nephew as saying: “Because he will protect us.”
Dabiyi said:
“People, especially the younger generation, support Hamas now more than ever.”
