The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades — the military wing of the Fatah movement — claimed responsibility. Fatah is the party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who did not immediately comment on the incident.Israeli officials are concerned about the growing involvement of members of the Palestinian security forces in attacks against Israelis and see it as another sign of the weakening of the Palestinian Authority.
“We will not hesitate to act in any place that the Palestinian Authority does not maintain order. Israel will forcefully target whoever tries to harm it," Lapid said.In recent months, there has been a growing number of attacks by Palestinians against Israeli soldiers and settlers in the occupied West Bank, as well as an increase in Israeli military raids in Palestinian cities.
