Occupiers drowning in fear and insecurity / Tel Aviv’s strategy: “On top of every Palestinian, a soldier”

According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, the website of the network “Al-MayadeenBy publishing an analysis of the unprecedented increase in the number of soldiers of the occupying regime in the West Bank, he wrote that the purpose of deploying two-thirds of the Zionist army in this region is to counter the Palestinian resistance operations that have drowned the settlers in fear and insecurity. The result of the concurrence of the weak occupation army and the disintegrated cabinet of “Benjamin Netanyahu” is that in order to ensure the security of the Zionists, they must put a soldier on top of every Palestinian!

In the following, we read the details of this analytical report:

Continuous resistance operations and deep shock to the Zionists

After the shock of the two resistance operations in the occupied Jerusalem, which were carried out by the martyr “Khairy Alakm” and the Palestinian prisoner “Mohammed Aliwat”, the announcement of the occupying army to strengthen its forces in the occupied West Bank with two new battalions was not just an ordinary event and a passing decision. . Since this decision increased the number of forces stationed in the occupied West Bank and brought more than 60% of the total forces of the occupying army to the shore, it is a sign of the expected dangers of the Zionist security and military systems.

But the most important issue that appears in the framework of the weak and fragile situation in the security and military levels of the occupiers is the lack of control over the West Bank; Far from the religious aspect, this region has a very important position in terms of security in the Zionist organizations, due to the extent of the connection between it and the central cities of occupied Palestine. This issue is evaluated as an effective card for the Palestinians in order to influence the security inside the occupation organization. Therefore, the Zionist regime is trying to compete with its insecure conditions and limited time by strengthening its forces there to limit the dangers from the West Bank.

This is not the first time that the occupying army has increased the number of its forces in the occupied West Bank since the battle of Saif al-Quds in 2021. The army of the occupying regime increased the number of its units and battalions several times in the West Bank. So that the number of its forces in this region increased in the beginning of last year and reached 55% of its total military forces. During the military operation announced in March of last year, the Zionist army deployed more than 55 battalions of its forces in addition to 16 border battalions in the West Bank.

increasing the number of soldiers; Superficial and apparent strategy

On February 28, 2022, the army of the occupying regime had reinforced its forces along the separation wall between the West Bank and the cities occupied in 1948 with four battalions. A month later, then-War Minister Benny Gantz decided to add 15 battalions to his forces in the West Bank, including snipers and special forces, and to provide 1,000 army soldiers with police training to help. In the training operations of the Ministry of Genk and Internal Affairs, they decided to attract the units belonging to the “Border Guard” force and provide them with new equipment. A week later, Gantz decided to reinforce his forces in the West Bank with three more battalions.

Not only that, he decided on April 12 of the same year to reinforce his forces with two additional battalions along the security fence and contact points in the West Bank. During Ramadan last year, the occupying army was on maximum alert for more than a month. In 1948, nearly 1,000 soldiers from special units were stationed in Tel Aviv and the settlements of the occupied Palestinian territory for fear of resistance and martyrdom operations. At the end of last year, the army of the occupying regime, together with the foreign relations and war committee in the Knesset, requested to increase the number of service days of the reserve soldiers.

From Gantz to Benguer; Throwing military on military to face insecurity

These institutions of the Zionist regime demanded the recruitment of more reserve battalions to deploy in the occupied West Bank; So that the law of security services provides the possibility of calling up a full reserve battalion every three years, and they wanted to bypass this limitation. Recently, according to the plan of “Itmar Ben Guer”, the Minister of Internal Security, to call the “Border Guard” forces, the number of soldiers of the Zionist Army has increased in the occupied West Bank. He wanted to use the border guards to join a new force called the National Guard; Forces that were on duty in occupied Jerusalem and other Palestinian cities in 1948.

The deployment in the West Bank and the unstable and unstable security situation forced the army of the occupying regime to stop the training of regular forces and increase the duties of the reserve forces by calling for a longer period of time. Over the past year, the Israeli army had to call up more than 66 reserve battalions to carry out military operations in the West Bank and to participate in field operations, not for training purposes; Some of these battalions were directed not only to the West Bank but also to other areas.

Despite all these reinforcements by the occupation army, the resistance operations not only did not stop, but their scope and number increased drastically. The new periods between the intensification of operations and subsequent operations are now shorter than in the past, and the Palestinians respond very quickly to any aggression by the regime’s soldiers in the occupied settlements; It is as if the current situation is more like the beginning of the third Palestinian intifada.

The reasons for the increase of military forces of the occupying regime

• The estimation of the security system of the Zionist regime is that the successful operation of occupied Quds in the neighborhood of “Nabi Yaqoub” will encourage dozens of young Palestinians to carry out new martyrdom-seeking resistance operations in the West Bank. For this purpose, the Zionists are trying to reduce their vulnerability by increasing the readiness force.
• Tel Aviv’s security system has realized that the forms of resistance are now beyond the analytical capabilities of their security estimates. They know that the operational plans of the next actors are beyond their expectations and therefore the situation of the execution of the operation will also be unpredictable.
• Any point in the occupied settlements may be the scene of a new process of operations; In the West Bank, wherever the army and settlers are, they are vulnerable to Palestinian attack. This made some of Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet say: “We now need a soldier on top of every Palestinian to prevent new operations!”
• Tel Aviv’s political and security leaders’ sense of helplessness and their inability to find a solution to silence the public opinion of the Zionist regime and create a sense of security has not been possible except by announcing the deployment of more forces in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem; Because other options will cost more.
• Considering that the army of the occupying regime has become more extreme at the political levels, it expects to increase the waves of resistance operations; Their own expectation is to take actions and provoke the Palestinians to show strong reactions. The crime of the “Jenin” camp is the best proof that Netanyahu’s cabinet has taken the tactic of increasing pressure on the Palestinians and committing crimes in order to see the strong reactions of the Palestinians.
• The army leaders of the occupying regime realize that releasing the Palestinians living in the West Bank without continuous pressure and without increasing the number of military forces to control the various areas there will not bring positive results in the medium term.
• They know that if there is no tension, the idea of ​​resistance in the West Bank will be strengthened, the Palestinian Authority will be weakened and the matter will lead to the emergence of more military groups similar to “Arin al-Asud” or “Genin Brigade”.
• The leaders of the occupying regime have realized that the Palestinian people have changed and the new generation of Palestinian youth has been able to overcome all the security obstacles that the army has created over the past years.
• Estimates of the occupying regime show that there is a possibility of incitement and pressure in any way by the resistance factions outside the occupied West Bank for the rebellion of the West Bank residents. Considering that this issue will be more costly and effective in the occupied settlements and will limit Tel Aviv’s reactive tools.
