Armed Palestinians are concentrating their attacks on Israeli settlements in Palestinian areas. The Israeli settlers are seen as the main obstacle to a peace settlement and the most anti-Palestinian Israelis. Meanwhile, those Palestinians who have organized and led armed groups against the Israelis are gaining political power at the expense of long time Palestinian leader Arafat.
