On the dusty, dimly lit alleys of refugee camps in the northern West Bank, a new wave of Palestinian fighters is emerging, seeking to emulate the tactics and resilience of Hamas in Gaza. Steven Erlanger's recent report sheds light on the growing militancy in places like Tulkarm and Jenin, where Israeli military raids are a regular occurrence. Amidst the shadows cast by black nylon tarpaulins shielding them from Israeli drones, these young militants have begun to display green Hamas flags and banners honoring fallen "martyrs." This shift towards a more radical stance marks a departure from the traditional stronghold of the relatively moderate Fatah faction in the West Bank. One such local commander, Muhammad Jaber, now 25, spoke of the lessons learned from the recent conflict in Gaza. "Patience. And strength. And courage," he mused when asked about his insights. The war in Gaza has seemingly fueled a sense of urgency and determination among these fighters, prompting some to realign their allegiances with more hardline groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The refugee camps in the West Bank have long been breeding grounds for resistance against Israeli occupation, fueled by frustration over settlement activities and the stalling of the peace process. Following the recent conflict initiated by Hamas on October 7, a call to arms against Israel resonated within these camps, spurring a renewed fervor among the militants. For individuals like Mr. Jaber, the ultimate goal remains the same: the expulsion of Israeli forces from the West Bank, a territory occupied since the 1967 war. Some, inspired by Hamas's uncompromising stance, even envision a future where Israelis are entirely driven out of the region. As tensions continue to simmer in the West Bank, the emergence of this new breed of fighters signals a shift towards a more confrontational approach, echoing the tactics employed by their counterparts in Gaza. The echoes of conflict reverberate through the alleys, as these young militants strive to carve out a path towards liberation, whatever the cost may be.
