News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (May 30 – June 5, 2018) רמה כ ז מל ו תשר מה ו ד י ע י ן ה ש ל מ ( למ מ" ) News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (May 30 – June 5, 2018) Overview This past week events focused on two rounds of rocket fire attacking Israel, during which more than 150 rockets and mortar shells were fired, a quantity unprecedented since Operation Protective Edge. The first round was initiated by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in retaliation for the death of three of its operatives, and was joined by Hamas. The second round was apparently carried out by a Fatah faction, in ITIC assessment while Hamas turned a blind eye. At the same time, the violent "popular" activities continue, including damage to the security fence, attempts to penetrate Israeli territory and destroy equipment. Incendiary kites continue causing extensive damage to crops in the western Negev and to local forests and nature reserves. The Israeli prime minister announced he would instruct Israel's National Security Council to deduct the cost of the damages to the farmers from the tax money collected by Israel and paid to the Palestinian Authority (PA). This past week a kite was flown into Israel carrying an IED. It fell near the fence in the Kerem Shalom area. The IED did not explode. The Naksa Day events on June 5 did not attract many participants and there were no exceptional events, with the exception of the continuing flying of incendiary kites. The kites caused nine simultaneous fires in the communities near the Gaza Strip (Ynet, June 5, 2018). The reason for the poor attendance is that Hamas decided to unite Naksa Day events with those of the mass march (the so-called "million man march to Jerusalem") scheduled for June 8, 2018, the last Friday of Ramadan (the day marking Quds Day, initiated by Iran and held every year to show support for Jerusalem and the Palestinians). Rounds of rocket and mortar shell fire1 This past week there were two rounds of rocket and mortar shell fire: 1 For further information, see the June 4, 2018 bulletin "The Escalation in the Gaza Strip: What Next?" 143-18 2 2 The first round was on May 29-30, 2018. Most of the fire was carried out by the PIJ and joined by Hamas operatives. More than 150 rockets and mortar shells were fired, a quantity unprecedented since Operation Protective Edge (2014). The round ended with an informal ceasefire following Egyptian contacts with Hamas and the PIJ.2 The second round, more limited in scope, lasted from June 2 to the morning of June 3, 2018. A number of rockets and mortar shells were fired at the communities near the Gaza Strip, apparently by a Fatah faction (a number of Fatah factions issued claims of responsibility). The rockets and mortar shells were fired while Hamas turned a blind eye. So far, Hamas has shown it can effectively enforce its rocket and mortar shell fire policy on the other terrorist organizations if it so chooses. During the rounds of shelling four Israelis were injured by shrapnel (three of them IDF soldiers). Property damage was also reported. Claim of responsibility issued by the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade/al-Karama Army, a faction apparently affiliated with Muhammad Dahlan (al-Karama Army Facebook page, June 4, 2018). IDF Response IDF forces responded with a series of attacks, mostly from the air, hitting dozens of Hamas and PIJ targets in the compounds of their military wings. Among the targets hit were headquarters, sites for the manufacture of weapons, training camps and sites belonging to Hamas' naval force (IDF spokesman, June 3, 2018). No casualties were reported. During the attacks the IDF destroyed a Hamas tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip near the Kerem Shalom crossing. The tunnel was intended for two purposes: to smuggle weapons and 2 Senior Hamas figure Musa Abu Marzouq said Hamas had not suggested or accepted any proposal for a long-term ceasefire with Israel ("the occupation"). However, he claimed Hamas had received verbal proposals for easing the "siege," and Egypt had promised to open the Rafah crossing and increase the supply of electricity to the Gaza Strip (al-Risalah, June 2, 2018). 143-18 3 3 merchandise between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, and to penetrate into Israeli territory.

Exposure of a terrorist squad planning to assassinate senior Israeli figures The Israel Security Agency revealed it had prevented the activities of a three-man terrorist squad planning to assassinate senior Israeli figures, among them Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Nir Barakat, mayor of Jerusalem. The squad also planned to attack the American Consulate in Jerusalem and a Canadian delegation visiting Jerusalem to train Palestinian forces. The three operatives belonged to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and were detained at an early planning stage during the collection of intelligence. No weapons were found in their possession. One of them, 30 years old from the Shuafat refugee camp (east Jerusalem), had an Israeli ID card, and had been imprisoned in Israel for 4 A significant attack is defined by the ITIC as involving shooting, a vehicular attack, the use of IEDs, or a combination of the above. Stones and Molotov cocktails thrown by Palestinians are not included. 143-18 6 6 terrorist activities.

Israel's South The events of Friday, June 1, 2018 On June 1, 2018, the third Friday of Ramadan, about 10,000 Palestinians participated in the riots and demonstrations at a number of locations along the border (compared with about 5,000 the previous week). During the riots, terrorist operatives shot at an IDF force, threw hand grenades, IEDs and Molotov cocktails. They also sabotaged the fence and security installations at a number of sites along the fence. During the riots light arms were fired at an IDF military vehicle. In addition, a Palestinian was seen crossing the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip, placing a hand grenade, which exploded, and returning to the Gaza Strip (IDF spokesman, June 2, 2018). Children present near riots in the central Gaza Strip (Shehab Facebook page, June 1, 2018). Children near the border fence (Shehab Facebook page, June 1, 2018). 143-18 7 7 Attacks carried out during and after riots Under cover of the riots, and after them, there were several terrorist events, including attempts to attack IDF soldiers and cross the security fence into Israeli territory: June 4, 2018 – An IDF force prevented two Palestinians from crossing into Israeli territory and sabotaging the security fence east of Khan Yunis. The two were found to be in possession of an axe. The force shot and killed one of the terrorists. The Palestinian media reported he was Ramzi Muhammad Salem al-Najar, 29, and that the IDF was holding his body. According to his friends, al-Najar was a relative and neighbor of Razan Ashraf Najar. She was killed on June 1, 2018, and that since her death he had spoken of his desire for revenge. They also said he and a group of young Gazans had managed to cross both the first and second fences, but when they reached the main fence an IDF force opened fire at them (al-Hadath and the Shehab Agency, June 4, 2018).
