Tight Israeli Preparations Ahead of Ramadan Under the Pretext of "Increased Operations" in the West Bank

SadaNews Translation: The Hebrew channel Kan Reshet reported that the Israeli security system is currently conducting assessments and preparations ahead of the upcoming month of Ramadan, in light of the increase in national operations in the West Bank since the beginning of this year, some of which were deliberately aimed at Israeli security forces, according to their claims as translated by SadaNews.

According to data from the Israeli security system, as published by the Hebrew channel: "55 national incidents were recorded in the West Bank over the past month, including five incidents of deliberate attacks against Israeli security forces. This comes amid Ramadan being an annually complex and sensitive period, amidst fears of an escalation in armed operations and potential security deterioration."

Israeli security officials, according to the report, indicate that the frequency of these incidents necessitates early preparations that include enhancing Israeli forces, broader deployment of units in the field, and increased intelligence activity. This reflects a clear Israeli promotion to justify restrictions on Palestinian Muslims during Ramadan.

According to the Israeli security system, "The month of Ramadan constitutes a sensitive focal point for friction and incitement possibilities, and any exceptional incident - whether it is a national operation or an attempted operation - could turn into a motivating factor for a broader escalation."

According to the Hebrew channel, the occupation army clarified that the current preparations aim to minimize friction, prevent operations, and maintain relative calm during this sensitive period.
