i24 News — The Palestinian Authority (PA) reportedly received on Tuesday a shipment of US armored vehicles and weapons via Jordan. Meanwhile, terror groups in the Gaza Strip simulated an attack on Israel.
According to Palestinian newspaper Al-Quds, the arms shipment was approved by the Israeli government to help PA security forces regain security control across the West Bank.
Terror groups like the al-Ayyash Battalion have flourished in cities like Jenin, and in the absence of Palestinian Authority security forces, the Israeli army has repeatedly sought to clamp down on terror activity.
The Ramallah-based PA has been struggling to maintain security throughout the West Bank, and is met with heavy resistance when it does, as terror groups funded by Iran continue to threaten regional stability.
Also on Tuesday, Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip began a military drill simulating a broad escalation with Israel. The exercise included launching barrages of rockets out to sea, as well as a drill by Hamas’ navy commando unit.
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad said the drill was held to mark 18 years since Israel’s disengagement from the enclave. It also comes a day after a Qatari special envoy left Gaza, after distributing aid and trying to mediate tensions.

The British Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, is on a visit to the region and due to visit the West Bank to meet with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh.
The UK’s top diplomat, who met with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on Monday, accused Iran of “enabling terrorism” through its support of the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organizations, which operate out of the Gaza Strip but have been gaining ground in the West Bank.
