Israel's internal security agency, the Shin Bet, has issued a warning regarding Iranian attempts to expand its influence in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). According to a document from the agency, revealed by i24NEWS, Iran is seeking to exploit the weakening of Hamas's terror infrastructure and armed battalions in the region.
The Shin Bet document states that security forces' arrests and counter-terrorism operations have created a vacuum that other terror organizations, led by Iran, are attempting to fill. The agency's assessment indicates that these groups aim to ignite the area and encourage widespread armed resistance. Iranian activity reportedly includes identifying and recruiting operatives and armed cells, transferring weapons and funds, and promoting attacks.
Furthermore, the document details efforts to spread incitement to increase violence on the ground. The Shin Bet characterizes the situation as defining the West Bank as a "war zone." In light of this warning, the agency recommends opposing the early release of arms smugglers and dealers, whom they consider a significant force multiplier for terror organizations.
