In response to the deadly attack in Havat Gilad, reserve Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi said the Palestinian Authority has brought thousands of terrorists into its territory to circumvent the Israeli law deducting payments to terrorist families, and that this strategy is leading to an increase in attacks.
Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi, a former IDF officer and currently a prominent security commentator, issued a statement on Friday following the deadly attack in the settlement of Havat Gilad. Avivi argued that the Palestinian Authority has actively brought thousands of terrorists into areas under its control in an effort to bypass the Israeli law that deducts payments to families of terrorists from tax revenues. He claimed that this policy is directly contributing to the rise in attacks against Israeli targets. The attack in Havat Gilad, which left several casualties, has not been officially detailed by authorities. Avivi's comments reflect a growing concern among security officials about the effectiveness of the current policy toward the PA. His assessment is based on his experience and ongoing analysis of security trends.
