Why PA security forces are cracking down on Palestinian terror groups in West Bank
|
[IsraelTimes] Rare raid in Jenin aims to bring law and order to a hotbed of terrorism, while trying to position Ramallah to take over governance in Gaza after the war there ends
Gunfire has rung out for days from the West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp. But this time, it’s not Israeli forces that are facing off against gangs. It is the forces of the Paleostinian Authority clashing with Paleostinian button men.
The Paleostinian Authority, which administers parts of the West Bank, launched a rare crackdown earlier this month that has sparked one of the worst armed confrontations between Paleostinians in years. The PA says it wants to bring law and order to what’s long been a hotbed of terrorism and a place where it has little control.
Its ability to contain terror groups there will reverberate far beyond the West Bank. The Paleostinian Authority wants to position itself to take over governance in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

ends, though Jerusalem objects to this. But confronting Paleostinians at a time when many view the authority as a subcontractor for Israel could deepen divisions in Paleostinian society.
Here is a look at the days of fighting between Paleostinians in the West Bank:
FIGHTING RAGES ON THE STREETS AND AT LEAST 5 ARE DEAD
Earlier this month, PA security forces stormed into Jenin refugee camp, a restive terrorist stronghold, and began a crackdown against gangs.
Fighting has raged in the streets of the camp, and armored cars are seen patrolling. Paleostinian security forces have taken over part of a hospital, using it as a base and shooting from inside, according to the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
At least one gunman from the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group and three security force members have been killed, including a captain in the intelligence services whose death was announced Wednesday, according to PA security forces. About 50 people have been arrested.
At least two uninvolved civilians have been killed and some maimed. The fighting prompted the main UN agency for Paleostinian refugees and their descendants, UNRWA, to suspend its services, including schooling. The violence has disrupted safe access for Paleostinians to other services, including water and health. It also has complicated the restoration of services destroyed in previous Israeli raids of the camp.
THE JENIN REFUGEE CAMP EXPLAINED
The urban, built-up refugee camp in the northern West Bank houses Paleostinians whose families were displaced in the 1948 War of Independence surrounding Israel’s creation. It has long been a center for Paleostinian terrorism and a bastion of armed struggle against Israel. The terror groups Islamic Jihad and Hamas operate freely there, and its streets are regularly lined with posters depicting slain fighters as deaders for the Paleostinian cause.
The Paleostinian Authority, which administers the main Paleostinian population centers of the West Bank as part of interim peace agreements with Israel from the 1990s, has little presence in Jenin. Many people view the PA forces with suspicion and see them as serving Israel’s interests because of security coordination that has facilitated Israel’s own crackdowns on Paleostinian terrorism.
The camp and the adjacent city of Jenin have long been targets of Israel in its stated bid to stamp out terrorism. Since the start of the ongoing war against Hamas, sparked by the terror group’s October 7, 2023, massacre, Israel has raided or carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s in Jenin multiple times.
According to the PA health ministry, more than 716 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or holy warriors carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 42 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of Israeli security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
RESTORING ORDER — AND LOOKING TO POSTWAR GAZA
According to PA security forces spokesperson Brig. Gen. Anwar Rajab, the raid is meant to impose law and order and restore peace and security. The troops were focused on "eradicating" Iran-backed terror groups that were trying to incite "chaos and anarchy," he added. The raid will end when those goals are reached, according to the security forces.
But the raid is also shining a spotlight on the Paleostinian Authority’s ability to impose order and security in a restive area. With no clear vision for who will administer postwar Gaza, the raid could convince skeptics that the authority has what it takes to rule the coastal enclave. PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

is considering an agreement with Hamas that would create a committee of politically independent technocrats to administer the Gaza Strip after the war. The committee would report to him.
US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing ...
’s administration sees a rehabilitated Paleostinian Authority as the best option to govern and secure postwar Gaza. The US has for years invested heavily in training the PA’s security forces, and the administration has seen its reentry into Gaza, after being routed by Hamas in 2007, as a feasible replacement for Hamas.
Israel rejects any role for Hamas in Gaza after the war the terror group started last year, and has also said it does not trust Abbas’s PA to run the enclave.

administration has not yet laid out its vision for postwar Gaza, but Trump’s first term was overwhelmingly supportive of Israel’s positions.
Paleostinians are not strangers to divisions within their society, with the most prominent the rift between Hamas and Abbas’s Fatah party. The parties fought bloody street wars in Gaza before Hamas forced Fatah out of the territory, and the sides have failed to reconcile since.
Since then, the Fatah-dominated Paleostinian Authority has tried to diminish Hamas’s influence in the West Bank, often with Israel’s help.
Reeling from the years-long internal rift, Paleostinians have staged general strikes and protests calling for unity. But the raid could deepen the perception of the Paleostinian Authority as a controller of Israel’s desires and potentially undermine any popular support for it to return to effectively rule Gaza.
