Israel warns of full-scale war with Palestinian Authority over possible October 7-style attack
Israel's defence minister threatened a full-scale war against the Palestinian Authority if it carried out an attack similar to Hamas's October 7, 2023 assault. The warning came amid surging violence in the occupied West Bank and was denounced by Palestinian officials as an attempt to fuel conflict during Israel's election season.
Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz threatened on September 7, 2026 that Israel would launch a "full-scale war" against the Palestinian Authority if it prepared an attack on Israeli forces or settlements resembling the October 7, 2023 Hamas assault from Gaza. Palestinian authorities denounced the warning as an attempt to fuel the conflict during Israel's election season.
The statement followed an incident in the northern West Bank in which an Israeli settler was wounded in a stabbing attack. The Israeli military said it shot and killed the Palestinian assailant.
Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967. Recent months have seen a rise in attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, many of which have occurred with little or no legal consequence, according to the report.
