Revision as of 22:54, 20 November 2014
The Silent intifada[1][2] (Other names given include urban intifada,[1][3][4][5][6] third intifada,[2][4] and post-intifada[2]) is a term occasionally used to refer to an increase in violence focused in Jerusalem in late 2014.[7] Another view dismisses the idea as a myth circulating on social media since 2011.[8]
According to Al-Monitor, the probability of such an outbreak might arise from frustrations arising from a harsh economic situation and the lack of a diplomatic horizon for resolving longstanding issues had been periodically made by the IDF, and Shin Bet assessments in 2013 indicated growing unrest in the occupied territories that might catalyze lone wolf operations.[9]
More than 150 attacks are estimated to have occurred in July and August 2014.[10] By October some news sources, and Israeli politicians from both the far right and far left,[11] were referring to the wave of attacks as a Third Intifada[12] (following the First Intifada from 1987-1993 and the Second Intifada from 2000-2005), though many Israeli analysts in the security establishment deny the events have amounted to a full scale Intifada.[13][14]
As of November 2014, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority called for "a day of rage" against Israel after two Palestinians were killed. The Telegraph reported this as a call for the start of the Third Intifada.[15] Marwan Barghouti, a leader of both the First and Second Intifada has also made calls for a Third Intifada.[16]
Terminology and precedents
Since the Six Day War, Palestinians have engaged in two uprisings against Israel. These revolts are normally referred by the Arabic word intifada, meaning to 'shudder', from a root meaning 'to shake off'.[17] The First Intifada was an unarmed act of civil disobedience rather than a resort to violence, according to Anthony Cordesman,[18] that broke out in late 1987 and lasted roughly 6 years, and according to B'tselem claimed a total of 1,489 Palestinian deaths, 113 of whom were killed by Israeli civilians, and 185 Israeli lives.[19] The second, known as Al-Aqsa Intifada, erupted in the aftermath of a walk by Ariel Sharon on the Temple Mount in September 2000 among other tensions during that time, and lasted five years. Some 3,500 Palestinians and 1,100 Israelis were killed during those five years, but the violence did not cease. Overall since start of the decade until 2010, more than 5,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis were killed.[20]
Mention of the outbreak of a third intifada long predates the circumstances of late 2014..[21] Anshel Pfeffer regards it as a myth that began circulating at the time of the Arab Spring in 2011.[8] In early February Thomas Friedman, writing for the New York Times after a visit to Ramallah, stated that a third intifada was underway, not from the Palestinians, reportedly "too poor, too divided, too tired,'" or disenchanted of resorting to uprisings that bring no results, but rather in the European Union in Brussels, in increasing calls for disinvestment and an economic boycott of Israel and worldwide opposition to Israel's occupation.[22] Other sources describe the "methodical campaign of arrest and assassination by Israel" of mid-level and senior-level leadership across the Palestinian political spectrum, resulting in 40,000 arrests and more than 300 assassinations, as the reason for Hamas and Fatah not having an appetite for a third uprising.[23]
Background
The wave of political violence includes sniper fire aimed at Jewish pedestrians and vehicles carrying Jewish passengers,[24] the ambush of vehicles containing Jews by violent mobs,[25][26] and stone-throwing and firebomb attacks including a 30 September 2014 attack on an infant day care center.[27][28][29] Right-wing pressure to discuss such incidents as an "intifada" built because of police failure to initially investigate the 2014 murders of Shelly Dadon and Netanel Arami as acts of terrorism.[30] In the immediate wake of the kidnapping and murder of three Jewish teenage boys, Jewish mobs attacked Arabs in Jerusalem.In the immediate wake of the kidnapping and murder of 3 Jewish teenage boys, Jewish mobs attacked Arabs in Jerusalem.[31][32]
Particularly notable is the use of firecrackers thrown at civilian targets and at police, some have caused severe burn injuries and hearing loss.[33] In November 2014, Israeli authorities seized an enormous shipment of weapons bound for East Jerusalem. The containers – labeled "Christmas decorations" – included: "18,000 fireworks, including those of calibers that are restricted in Israel; 5,200 commando knives; 4,300 flashlights that can be used as electro-shockers; 5,500 Taser electro-shockers; and 1,000 swords."[34]
Nir Barkat, Israel's Mayor of Jerusalem, accused Israel's Minister of Public Safety of failing to protect Jerusalem residents from attacks including a series of terrorist ramming attacks and the destruction of 3 stations on the Jerusalem Light Rail.[35] Mobs searching for Palestinian passengers to attack have caused delays of several hours for public transportation.[36] As of early October, 30% of the cars on the Light Rail were out of commission due to what are described as "focused behavior," that is, not acts of random or youthful vandalism, that take place where the rail line runs through the predominately Arab neighborhood of Shuafat.[37]
However, at the end of October, violent incidents were merely "sporadic", and rioting not widespread or large-scale.[38] Asked on 11 November whether the situation amounts to a new intifada, Israel Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon responded that although the military would deal with the present, "escalation," in his view, "In Judea and Samaria today, we don’t see the masses taking to the streets… This is mainly lone attackers. Let’s wait to see what we call it.”[39]
On 16 November 2014, Yussuf al-Ramuni, a Palestinian bus driver, was found dead by hanging in his bus in Har Hotzvim and rumors that he had been murdered by Israelis inflamed the neighborhood. [40] Thousands of Palestinians attended the funeral and the Palestinian foreign ministry accused the Israeli police of "attempts to hide the hideous crime" by claiming it was suicide.[40] In addition to the Israeli coroner, the family of the deceased was invited to appoint a coroner of their choice. The 2 coroners, Dr. Saber al-Alul and Dr. Chen Kugel agred that the tragic death was a suicide.[41][42]
On 17 November, Haaretz military correspondent Anshel Pfeffer gave his opinion that the "current upsurge in stabbings, terror attacks using cars, Jewish vigilante reprisals, and clashes between police and rock-throwing youths at the usual flash points" is not an intifada because neither Fatah nor Hamas has decided to back it, as the PLO did with the 2 previous intifadas.[8] Writing in the wake of the November 18 synagogue massacre, Pfeffer made a second distinction. Whereas the suicide bombers of the Second Intifada were sent by handlers from towns and villages in the West Bank to attack targets with which they were not familiar, the perpetrators of the summer and fall of 2014 are self-motivating lone wolves who carry residency status that entitles them to move freely around the city. They often attack targets in the neighborhoods where they work; in Pfeffers words, "they know when and where to do it," and this makes them hard to stop.[43] According to Ingrid Jaradat Gassner, of the Civic Coalition for Palestinian Rights in Jerusalem, Palestinians feel a decade after the death of Yassir Arafat, that they have no leader who can stand up for their rights. The depth of frustration, as the creeping settlement of their lands, border restrictions on movement and collective punishment meted out on them when attacks take place. They have, she argues, a sense that Israelis are raising more and more obstacles before their quest for "normal lives"[44]
Notable incidents
The U. S. Congressional Research Service foresaw immediately after the outbreak of the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict that the conflict might engage the Obama Administration in a search for means to avoid a spillover into what they imagined could develop into a third intifada.[45] By early September a notable uptick in attacks was correlated by Israeli security sources with the aftermath of the Kidnapping and murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir and Israel's Operation Protective Edge on the Gaza Strip,[46]
Jerusalem tractor attack
On 4 August 2014, an Arab drove an excavator type of tractor out of a construction site, injuring several pedestrians and killing one man before ramming the tractor into a public bus.[47]
Mount Scopus shooting
On 4 August 2014, an apparently lone gunman shot and wounded a soldier patrolling Mount Scopus.[48]
Jerusalem Light Rail vehicular attack
The violence seemed to be waning until, on 22 October, Adbel-Rahman Shaloudi, a 21 year old Palestinian Hamas operative from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, rammed his car into a group of passengers waiting at the Ammunition Hill Light Rail station. The attack left two dead, including a 3-month old baby, and seven injured.[48][49] A brief uptick in Arab rioting followed.[50]
Assassination attempt on Yehuda Glick
On 30 October 2014, the activist Yehuda Glick was the subject of an assassination attempt. The main suspect was later shot and killed by police who claim he was resisting arrest.[51][52] Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld stated that the raid of Higazi's apartment that followed the shoot out provided them with substantial evidence linking Higazi to the shooting.[53] The suspect had been a member of Islamic Jihad and served 11 years in Israeli prisons for security offenses; Islamic Jihad immediately published an obituary claiming him as a member.[54]
The Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas responded to the security closure of the Temple Mount, stating that "harming the places sacred to Muslims and Christians is a red line," that he would "not permit this line to be crossed,"[54] and that the closure was a "declaration of war."[55][56] His call to Palestinians to protect the Temple Mount from visits by Jews "by any means" has been widely viewed in Israel as incitement to violence.[57] Israeli prime minister Netanyahu characterized Abbas' call as part of "a wave of incitement by radical Islamic elements and by Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas)."[58]
Abbas' Fatah Party called for Friday, 31 October to be a "Day of Rage" in Jerusalem.[59][60][61] The protests on 31 October and on 1 November were not notably large and there was little violence.[62][63][64]
November 5th 2014 Jerusalem Light Rail vehicular attack
On 5 November 2014, Ibrahim al-Akri, a Hamas operative from Shuafat, deliberately drove a van at high speed into a crowd of people waiting at the Shimon HaTzadik light rail station in the Arzei HaBira neighborhood of Jerusalem. The attack left two people dead and thirteen wounded.[65]
Following the vehicular attacks, political cartoons were posted to Fatah and Hamas websites by supporters dubbing the acts the 'car intifada' likening cars to small arms and Hamas M-75 rockets.[66][67]
November 5th 2014 Gush Etzion vehicular attack
On November 5th an additional vehicular attack occurred just hours after the Jerusalem Light Rail attack. Hamam Jamal Badawi Masalmeh drove at high speed into 3 Soldiers waiting at a bus stop. all 3 were injured in this attack. Hamam Jamal Badawi Masalmeh fled the scene and the next morning he turned himself in to the police claiming it was an accident. On the 20th November 2014, police confirm that it was not a Hit and Run, but rather a deliberate terror attack.[68]
Kafr Kanna killing
On 7 November 2014, a Palestinian Israeli, Kheir Hamdan (22) was shot dead Kafr Kanna after having approaching a police car with what appeared, reportedly, to be a knife. The police shot him several times in the back as he was walking away. The incident, caught on video, was an 'execution' according to MK Ahmad Tibi, and the mayor of the township called it a case of 'murder in cold blood' and 'state terror'.[69] Demonstration broke out, linking the incident to other events, such as recent pressure by right-wing religious militants to press for more Israeli control over the Temple Mount. In one protest, at Haifa University calls were made for a third intifada.[70]
Killing of Sergeant Almog Shiloni
On Monday, 10 November 2014, Almog Shiloni, age 20 from Modi'in, was stabbed at the Haganah Railway Station in Tel Aviv, after a struggle with a Palestinian who attempted to grab his weapon. Shiloni was on the phone with his girlfriend, when 18-year-old Nur al-Din Abu Khashiyeh, a resident of Nablus illegally staying in Israel, stabbed him in the stomach. Shiloni sustained massive blood loss and succumbed to his wounds at the Tel HaShomer Medical Center in Ramat Gan. Abu Khashiyeh was chased and eventually taken into custody by Israeli police.[71]
Alon Shvut attack
On Monday, 10 November 2014, four hours after the killing of Shiloni, Maher al-Hashlamun stabbed three Israelis at the entrance to the settlement of Alon Shvut in Gush Etzion, killing a young woman and wounding two others. A man in his mid-20s was stabbed in the stomach, suffering light-to-moderate wounds, and was taken to the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem's Ein Kerem, a second man in his 50s was lightly wounded, suffering from stab wounds to the jaw, and was taken to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, also in Jerusalem. Dalia Lemkus, 26, from Tekoa, was seriously wounded but attempts to resuscitate her failed and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Al-Hashlamun was shot in the chest by a security guard, and was also taken to Ein Kerem. The attacker, a resident of Hebron, is a member of Islamic Jihad. He was jailed in Israel from 2000-2005 after he was convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at an IDF patrol.[72][73]
Jerusalem screwdriver attack
[relevant? ]
On November 16, a Jewish man was stabbed by a Palestinian near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem.[74][75] Magen David Adom paramedics arrived at the scene to treat the man and transfer him to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.[76] Police said they set up roadblocks in their search for the attacker,[77] which is focused around the Old City.[78] Hamas praised the stabbing.[79]
Controversy over death of Palestinian bus driver
On 16 November 2014, Yussuf al-Ramuni, a Palestinian bus driver working for Israeli Egged company, was found hanged in his bus in Har Hotzvim. Israeli police conducted an autopsy and stated that the hanging was a suicide and that "there were no signs of violence on the body".[80] The autopsy report, reportedly written by an Arab coroner, was to be handed over to Ramuni’s family, along with his body.[81] However, the family and friends of the man disputed that claim. According to his family's lawyer, a Palestinian doctor who attended the autopsy stated that al-Ramuni was murdered. Al-Ramuni's coworker, Muatasem Fakeh, said he saw evidence of violence on al-Ramuni's body. Al-Ramuni's family state that he was a happy man, and accuse "settlers" of killing him.[40] The Israeli director of the Institute where the autopsy was performed stated that the Palestinian doctor concurred that the cause of death was suicide.[82]
Al-Ramuni's funeral was attended by thousands of Palestinians. The Palestinian foreign ministry accused the Israeli police of "attempts to hide the hideous crime" by claiming it was suicide.[40] With rumours about the alleged murder running rampant, small riots broke out on the night of the 16th in a number of Jerusalem locations, including A-Tur, Isawiya, Abu Dis and Ras al-Amud. On 17 November 2014 stones were thrown at Israeli vehicles in several locations in Jerusalem. One driver was lightly wounded. [80]
Jerusalem Synagogue Massacre
On 18 November, during the morning prayer, two Palestinian men entered a synagogue in Har Nof neighbourhood in Jerusalem, opened fire on the worshippers, and attacked them with axes. Four men were killed, and 8 wounded, four of them in serious condition. Two police officers arrived on the scene, exchanged fire with the perpetrators, and killed them. Both officers were wounded, one of them critically. Both attackers were from East Jerusalem.[83] Hamas and Fatah welcomed the attack,[84] [85] saying it was a response to the death of a Palestinian bus driver.[86]
Impact
As a result of the increased rioting, the Israeli cabinet resolved to enact a new bill increasing the punishment for those convicted of stone throwing in Jerusalem. Under the old law, those convicted could be sentenced to up to two years in prison. The revised law, if approved by the Knesset, would increase the prison sentence to a maximum of twenty years.[87][88]
Following the series of events, and in particular following the Har Nof synagogue massacre, Jerusalem city council has stationed security personnel at the kindergartens in the city.[89] Knesset member Eli Yishai called for security personnel to also be stationed in synagogues.[90]
