IDF intel head predicts Palestinian ‘explosion’ ahead of Independence Day
(Worthy News) – IDF Intelligence Directorate head Maj.-Gen. Herzl Halevi warned on Sunday of a possible Palestinian “explosion” ahead of Israel’s 70th anniversary.
“The month of May, with the days of independence and nakba [catastrophe], signal that a possible explosion is coming, [driven on the Palestinian side by] growing frustration and hopelessness,” he said at a conference organized by Yediot Aharonot to mark the upcoming Independence Day.
Halevi’s warning comes one week before Palestinians mark Land Day, with thousands of Gazans expected to set up several “tent cities” as close as they can to the border fence and to remain there until Nakba Day, on May 15, as a form of peaceful resistance. Land Day commemorates the pivotal events of 1976 in the Palestinians’ struggle over land ownership. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
