Israeli security forces are increasing their presence and preparations in the West Bank ahead of Ramadan, following a surge in Jewish nationalist crime. Over the past month, authorities recorded 55 incidents, including attacks on Palestinians and Israeli security personnel. The number of such incidents has risen sharply in the past year, prompting concerns about potential escalation during the sensitive Ramadan period. Defense officials are deploying additional units and boosting intelligence efforts to maintain stability and prevent violence. The Chief of Staff has called for accountability and immediate action against attacks on uninvolved civilians, while recent violent incidents, including an attack on Arab students, have heightened tensions. Critics link the rise in violence to recent political shifts, as the Arab community continues to suffer from the ongoing crime wave.
