The narrative for today was already set from this morning when 3 Palestinian’s attempted to attack an IDF outpost with Carlo Guns and Knifes and two killed in IDF retaliation fire, this evening the Israeli Police clashed with Palestinian’s on the Temple Mount.

The media surrounding these events works in Hamas and the factions favour, despite calls from social media for them to launch rockets into Israel right now that would “level the field” again, at this moment in time international calls are against Israel, not both to de-escalate.

The tensions will continue to grow over the weekend into Monday, Jerusalem Day.

Of course, now i’ve said this the factions will fire a rocket and I’ll give up (for a period of time) trying to understand this ever revolving conflict.

The reason I say this is because Hamas and the factions are smart enough to create and continue pressure, they don’t aimlessly launch rockets, they know when it “needs to be done” - there is of course, always talk of “rogue” elements, which can come into play.

"maybe just preparing a massive rocket barrage like during the May4-5th 2019 escalation” - Exactly, it’s all planned, considered, thought about and executed, it’s not aimless.

And for those making comments regards to Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, of course, yes, that plays into the tensions, this thread is merely about this, today, Al-Quds Day, the Sheikh Jarrah piece will continue until the Supreme Court make their decision on Monday if not postponed.

Sheikh Jarrah dispute has been going on for nearly 20 years.
