Are Israelis at risk from Palestinian Authority's amassed forces?

Hey Watchmen, The Jerusalem Post's question isn't a new one to those of us who've walked that land — I've stood five miles from the border where you're told you've got fifteen seconds to find shelter when the alarm sounds. So when we talk about the Palestinian Authority amassing forces, understand this isn't abstract policy analysis for me. It's friends' kids in the IDF, it's playgrounds built over bomb shelters, it's a region where "peace process" has too often meant buying time to rearm. The PA operating in Judea and Samaria, building up security forces that answer to leadership with a long history of incitement and payments to terrorists' families — that's not stability, my friends, that's a second front being quietly assembled while the world watches Gaza. Scripture doesn't leave us guessing about the nature of the conflict over that land. Obadiah 1:10 tells Edom — a nation born of Jacob's own brother, Esau — "For your violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever." The pattern repeats throughout history: those closest to Israel by blood or by geography, who should be watchmen on the wall beside her, instead become the danger within the gates. That's the tragedy of Judea and Samaria right now — forces amassing not from a foreign army across a sea, but from within the very land Yah gave to Israel as an inheritance. I'm not here to tell you Israel's hands are clean or that every PA policy is malice — Torah calls us to justice and mercy both. But Elohim is not mocked, and He sees every force gathered against the apple of His eye. Keep your eyes on Judea and Samaria as much as Gaza in these coming weeks, watchmen — the quieter front is often the one that catches everyone off guard. Stay alert, stay in the Word, and stay ready.
