After years of facing rocket fire from Gaza and Lebanon, Israeli intelligence is now warning that weapons smuggling and homegrown rocket efforts in Judea and Samaria may be laying the groundwork for a third front.
For years, Israel’s rocket threat came mainly from the south and the north — from Gaza and from Hezbollah in Lebanon. New intelligence suggests a similar and potentially dangerous process may be quietly unfolding in Judea and Samaria.
Recent seizures of rockets and evidence of local production attempts are raising serious concerns within the security establishment. The question no longer seems theoretical: Could the West Bank become Israel’s next rocket front — like Gaza once did?
