Supporting arguments

Palestinians attribute the violence to frustration over Israeli policies and occupation of Palestinian territories, coupled with weak Palestinian leadership. The absence of a strong, unified struggle by Palestinian leadership has led to individual attacks, which are expected to continue and increase

Since March 22, Palestinians have carried out four attacks in Israeli cities, killing 14 people. Israel responded by increasing its raids on Palestinian towns and villages, leading to daily clashes and arrests. The assailant in one of the attacks was reportedly affiliated with the armed wing of the Fatah political movement
