The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
Israel is facing attacks on all sides from terrorist entities, but these cowardly acts against civilians will not weaken its resolve. Israel will take even harsher measures to prevent these murderers, and it only increases its determination to achieve its missions in Gaza as well as in Judea and Samaria.
Pro-Palestine narrative
Israel is trying to wrap its head around how this attack took place, but the fact that it took place in an occupied area of the West Bank should tell it everything it needs to know. As long as it continues to dispossess Palestinians, while thwarting all attempts at peaceful protest or a political solution, Palestinians will feel they have no choice but to take up armed resistance, and attacks like these will continue.
