Is more terror coming to the west bank?

This doesn't sound good.

The Palestinian Authority lacks the capability to effectively control terror groups and the main focus of Palestinian terror operations is shifting from Gaza to the West Bank, Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin said Wednesday.

"We are identifying efforts to move the main struggle to Judea and Samaria," Diskin told military reporters in what was his first on-the-record comments since taking office in May.

Islamic Jihad has been active in the West Bank despite a February cease-fire, but there are signs Hamas is also preparing attacks, Diskin said.

According to Diskin, there have been attempts to make homemade rockets and mortars in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, near Jerusalem, and in the northern West Bank town of Jenin.

Diskin termed the Palestinian Authority's ability to enforce law and order in Gaza to be "negligible at best," as evidenced by the thousands of weapons that flooded into the strip and the thousands of Palestinians and Egyptians who crossed their joint frontier, unfettered, after Israel withdrew from Gaza last week.

Although Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas opposes terror, his ruling Fatah party is crumbling, and if it doesn't strengthen, it won't be able to control Gaza, he said.

Diskin said Palestinian groups exploited the chaos at the border corridor between Gaza and Egypt to smuggle operatives into Gaza from Egypt, as well as an estimated 3,000 rifles, 1.5 million bullets, 200 RPG missiles, and hundreds of kilograms of explosives. Shoulder-fired Stinger or Strela missiles might also have been smuggled in, but that hasn't been definitely established, Diskin said.

He said he was afraid these weapons would eventually find their way into the West Bank.
