RAMALLAH, West Bank — In the two days that followed the controversial flag march organized by Israeli far-right settlers in East Jerusalem on May 29, several shootings against the Israeli army and settlers were reported in the West Bank. Twelve shooting operations were reported, while 35 explosive devices were thrown at Israeli military checkpoints and posts across the West Bank, with the most incidents recorded in Jenin and Nablus.
Al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad’s military wing, claimed responsibility for most of these attacks that came days after it announced the formation of the “Nablus Brigade” on May 25, following clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians near the flashpoint Joseph’s Tomb in Jenin.
