The IDF warned Hamas could take over the West Bank in days.

A top Israeli military official, OC Central Command Maj.-Gen. Gadi Shamni, warned on Wednesday that the Palestinian Authority (PA) was not seriously working to stop terrorist activity in the West Bank, The Jerusalem Post reported.

“Although there are no rocket attacks emanating from the West Bank, we’ve found rockets produced here, and this tells us that there are [rocket production] labs in the region,” Shamni said. “Without the massive IDF presence in the West Bank, Hamas would take over the institutions and apparatuses of the Palestinian Authority within days.”
