There has been a flurry of reports in recent days about Palestinian Arab terrorists in Judea and Samaria developing rocket launchers. This is a game-changer. It also goes straight to the heart of the debate over whether Israel could survive the creation of a Palestinian state.
After Israel eliminated three Palestinian Islamic Jihad commanders on May 9, IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari said that one of the three, Tariq Muhammad Ezzedine, had been involved in “bringing improvised rockets that will be launched from the West Bank into Israel to harm civilians.” The Jerusalem Post noted, “Rockets have never been fired from the West Bank into Israel.”
