Several raids by the Israeli army took place on the night of 17-18 October, in cities in the West Bank, Ramallah, Hebron, Bethlehem, and Nablus. Eight companies, all in the media sector, were targeted. In the eyes of Israel, they offered their services to Hamas television channels. A major operation as the Islamist movement – considered as terrorist by the Israeli government – has begun a rapprochement with the Palestinian Authority.

For the past week, the Israeli authorities have sought to show their firmness towards Hamas. The Islamist movement must begin negotiations with Fatah of President Mahmoud Abbas to form a government of national unity. And Israel hammers that in its eyes, the movement remains a terrorist organization.
