AFP OCTOBER 18, 2013 West Bank attacks do not signal new intifada An uptick in violence in the West Bank is cause for concern but not part of an orchestrated Palestinian campaign, Israeli media said on Friday. A series of incidents, the latest of which saw Israeli soldiers shoot dead a Palestinian who forced his way into an army base on Thursday, have killed and injured several Israelis. Haaretz dailys defense analyst Amos Harel said of the violence: Even though some of these attacks had a criminal context alongside a political motive, this is an accumulation that cannot be ignored. The Israel Hayom daily said on its website that the army was refraining from characterizing the recent chain of events as a new intifada, but military officials admit that the trend is disturbing. https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/mena/west-bank-attacks-do-not-signal-new-intifada
