Reserve Brigade Gadi Shamni, a former IOF commander of the Central District, warned that the citizens of Huwara, a town South of Nablus, hold "very strong feelings of retaliation, and this is quite clear."

"[Huwara] has become a symbol for the Palestinians... it has become a symbol of resistance and struggle," he said.

The former commander also predicted that escalations would continue, describing the current events as being only a "rehearsal".

The official also noted that the Israeli army is operating in a very hostile administrative framework (the occupation government), adding that many parties fan the flames by waging rhetorical attacks against IOF officials and the Central District commander. 

Shamni also said Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah "is very well aware of what is going on."
