On June 8, a pair of Palestinian gunmen killed four Israeli civilians in a popular Tel Aviv tourist district. Israeli officials say the violence is the result of anti-Israeli incitement by Palestinian leaders and in Palestinian social media. Palestinian political science lecturer Ahmad Jamil Azem at Birzeit University said the past months of violence have persisted because young Palestinians have felt exasperated by Israel’s ongoing military occupation. The military said private Israeli security guards at the settlement had fired at Tarayreh as he tried to flee the attack scene. He noted that in previous grassroots Palestinian campaigns against Israelis, their leadership managed to harness the public’s frustration and transform it into a movement.
