Israeli security officials have identified a sharp increase in warnings about planned attacks against Israelis in the West Bank, according to Channel 12. Many of the alleged plots are being directed by Iran and Hamas operatives based outside the territory, a senior Israeli military official told the outlet. The official said militant groups continue efforts to organize significant attacks from abroad, even as they face growing operational difficulties. Israeli forces have stepped up counterterrorism activity in the West Bank in recent months amid persistent threats. The report underscores Iran's continued role as a driver of terrorism against Israeli civilians and security forces, even as its regional proxies face mounting pressure. Israeli officials have repeatedly warned that Tehran continues to fund and direct attacks despite battlefield setbacks.
