The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine emphasizes the urgent
need to take the fight toward the heart of 'Israel', starting from the West
Bank, in support of Gaza.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) on Tuesday called
for battles to shift to the heart of "Israel" from the West Bank.

The PFLP confirmed the increase in settler attacks on the Palestinian people

across the West Bank. These assaults, which include road blockades, land
seizures, attacks on homes, and shootings on Palestinians, are occurring
concurrently with the genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip

The PFLP asserted that these actions are being orchestrated by the
occupation officials and the occupation army.

The Front further emphasized that amid the chaos unfolding in Gaza,
occupation forces are intensifying their atrocities and collaborating with
settlers to quell any potential uprising in the West Bank. This includes
bolstering settlements, which are integral to the Israeli agenda in
Palestine, which serve as a lifeline and cornerstone for its policies and
crimes against the Palestinian population.

Pressing objective to ignite West Bank

The PFLP also stressed the urgent need for unified efforts among the
various segments of the Palestinian people in the West Bank – including the
grassroots, national, and official entities – to confront the occupation
and counter settler atrocities

They underscored the importance of swiftly establishing popular protection
committees to safeguard villages and cities against settler assaults.

In conclusion, the movement emphasized that shifting the focus of the war
to the heart of "Israel", beginning with operations in the West Bank,
serves to broaden the scope of the struggle. This strategic move aims to
drain the entity's military, economic, and humanitarian resources,
exacerbating its existential crisis and intensifying the deep-seated crises
instigated by Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

.

It clarified that the imperative and pressing objective is to ignite the
front in the West Bank to bolster the resistance in Gaza, which persists in
inflicting significant human and military casualties upon the occupation
forces.

Israeli media are expressing grave concern about an imminent escalation in
the West Bank, warning of a potential outbreak of violence far surpassing
anything witnessed since the start of the war in Gaza.

This alarming development follows warnings from Israeli military officials
that tensions in the West Bank are reaching a critical point, with
confrontations intensifying between Palestinian Resistance fighters and
occupation forces.
