“I recommend considering the possibility that some Arabs from Israel and the territories are being radicalized on a new(ish) vector by regional opponents of the Abraham Accords, the Negev summit, and the changing dynamics of regional alignment and connections.”
This will be a brief Ready Room; basically little more than a string of tweets. But it’s important. The subject is the terror attacks in Israel in recent days, which have now taken the lives of 11 people. The first was a gruesome mass-knifing attack, the other two shooting attacks.
Terror using small arms is not unusual in Israel, but the attacks we’ve been seeing also don’t fit recent patterns. It isn’t typical to see three days in close succession with shooting attacks, in random locations and without fairly rapid attribution to a known group (whether a group takes credit or the Israeli authorities present findings). The sense that something different Is happening appears to be growing.
Note that ISIS reportedly did take credit for the first two attacks (something I haven’t been able to track down yet, but Daniel Greenfield is very reliable).
