The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) will face a new "threat" in the West Bank, according to Israeli media outlets.

Military analyst Shai Levi told Israeli Channel 12, that the Israeli security establishment has recorded attempts by Palestinian Resistance groups to acquire weapons that will allow them to "carry out more deadly attacks against Israelis and security forces in the field."

Levi added, "Palestinian militants, most of them from Jenin, Nablus, and Tulkarm, are putting a lot of effort into building rocket [production] infrastructure, car bombs, and original explosive devices (professionally made explosive devices)."

He pointed out that "the army has been aware for a long time of the threat posed by suicide drones, as both the army and the Shin Bet have been aware for a few years of attempts to convert small drones into deadly explosive drones."

Recently, "several discussions have been held on this issue within the security establishment," Levi claims that some Israeli officials brought up rocket and drone attacks as probable tactics that the Palestinian Resistance will utilize in the West Bank in the near future.

He claimed that "the Shin Bet thwarted a cell run by the [Palestinian] Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza in 2017, which attempted to establish," a group specialized in carrying out rocket fire and operating drones in Jenin.

Levi pointed out that "the Shin Bet discovered at that time that this cell was in contact with Tarek Ezzedine, one of those liberated in the [Gilad] Shalit deal, who was responsible for directing militants in the West Bank."

He added that despite the assassination of PIJ leader Tarek Ezzedine, who was head of operations in the West Bank, and other Islamic Jihad leaders in an attack on the Gaza Strip in May 2023, did not prevent the Resistance fighters from continuing their efforts to create specialized formations that excel in the use of explosive drones.

In this context, he noted that "these threats require significant attention from the security agencies, given the extensive efforts being made there (the West Bank)."

The Resistance is working to develop tools to better confront occupation forces, including drones and explosive devices. In April 2022, Al-Quds Brigades revealed a new drone called "Jenin," named after the city of Jenin and its camp in the northern occupied West Bank.

An explosive device targeted Israeli occupation forces on August 31 this year during a raid on Nablus in the West Bank, resulting in five casualties among enemy lines.

The Al-Quds Brigades - Nablus Brigade issued a statement claiming responsibility for the operation against the occupation forces, saying that "our fighters managed to carry out a well-planned ambush against an infantry force of the occupation forces in the vicinity of Joseph's Tomb, by detonating a number of explosive devices and then engaging the force with heavy gunfire."
