Israel threatens the Palestinians with a “long and difficult war”

Most of the Palestinian factions welcomed the operation and considered it self-defense in the face of the occupation’s practices. However, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned it, saying in a statement yesterday, “The killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians only leads to a further deterioration of the situation, as we all strive to achieve stability, especially during The holy month of Ramadan and the upcoming Christian and Jewish holidays.

The Palestinian youth, Raad Fathi Hazem (29 years), who works in Tel Aviv, came to a mosque in Jaffa the day before yesterday, carrying a machine gun, after he randomly shot 3 cafes on Dizenkoff Street in central Tel Aviv, then managed to disappear for nine Hours. A huge force of more than a thousand elements was deployed to pursue it, by land, by cars, motorcycles, and cavalry, in addition to police helicopters and drones.
