In earlier generations, Palestinian political factions ran the brigades during street fighting against Israel. Now, teenagers and young men are calling the shots.
It has been nearly 20 years since the last Palestinian intifada. And while the dynamics have changed, observers say, the fundamentals are the same — occupation, despair and relentless violence.
All the while, a succession crisis is brewing over who will replace the ailing Palestinian president, 87-year-old Mahmoud Abbas, whose role in a failing U.S.-led peace process has left him with limited rule over the West Bank. During a 10-day manhunt for the fighters, Israel put Jericho in a state of lockdown, setting up checkpoints that brought business and traffic to a standstill.
hiding in a shack and took their bodies. Hours later, green Hamas flags flew over the houses where the Awadat family gathered to mourn. A Fatah flag flew at Lafi’s home.The IDF labeled the Jericho group a “Hamas terrorist squad,” referring to the Iran-backed militant group in Gaza that has called for Israel’s destruction, but declined to disclose its evidence.
Over the past year, Israel has killed key members of the Lions’ Den. But new cells keep forming. And when the Lions’ Den calls for strikes or protests on social media, many Palestinians follow. Abu Mujahid said he still supports Fatah’s stance of diplomatic negotiations and two states. But in March 2020, he and others in Jenin “rebelled” against the party’s leadership “to protect” the movement, he said.He accused Hamas of trying to “exploit” frustrated young men, secretly arming cells to stir up violence and intensify Fatah infighting.
In January, an Israeli sniper fatally shot Adham Jabarin, 26, a fighter with the Islamic Jihad-affiliated Jenin Brigade, during an early-morning raid in the camp. Weeks later, posters of Jabarin holding an M16 decorate the family’s salon. His three brothers are wanted by the Israelis; one left holding an assault rifle before Post journalists were allowed in.
The sniper who shot Jabarin also killed a beloved high school teacher, Jawad Bawaqna, his family said. The Israeli military said it was “examining the circumstances” surrounding his death.
