According to a survey released earlier this year by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, 70 percent of all respondents—and 81 percent of Jewish respondents—expressed fear of an Oct. 7-style attack coming from Judea and Samaria.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is sounding the alarm over a growing terrorist threat from Judea and Samaria, warning that Iranian-backed arms smuggling could spark an Oct. 7-style attack.

Concerns over the presence of significant Iranian-supplied firepower in the hands of Palestinian terrorists in Judea and Samaria have prompted Israeli intelligence and security forces to intensify operations across the territory.
