Israel underwent another resistance operation in Al-Quds. Despite all the ongoing indications regarding the escalation of the Palestinian resistance acts, Israel continues to deny the fact that such acts would lead to a third intifada. 

It is accurate to state that the present intifada cannot be compared to either the one that began in 2000 (1st intifada) or the one that began in 1987 (2nd intifada) because the essential component, "widespread rage," is missing in the present one. However, the fierce resistance, the essential component of each intifada, is existed.

What makes us predict that the resistance activity would lead to a third intifada is the challenging element faced by the current strategic system. This system, adopted by Israel along the last 15 years, which helped Israel achieve the longest period of security, depends on the "economic peace." However, since the 2021 Israeli aggression on Gaza, events have revealed a breakdown in this approach, manifesting as ferocious Palestinian resistance. Every Palestinian expressed his displeasure towards this alleged "economic peace." In a connected context, they want to counter this tactic and restore the Middle East's historical identity.

Israelis, on the other hand, refuse to see the whole image and instead prefer to categorize the acts of resistance as "waves of terrorism."

Israel needs to upgrade the level of violations manifested in the demolition of resistance fighters' homes, expulsion, and dealing with the speeches of incitement. We will undoubtedly undergo another escalation if Israel does not develop a well-organized strategic vision about how to fix its economic problems.
