The reason why Israel can easily police the West Bank and break up bomb shops is because there are far fewer small arms in the West Bank than in the Gaza Strip

few arms in the westbank?.....policing the westbank?......
a short history lesson:
many many years ago pre oslo israel did police the gaza. When oslo came about and israel left gaza that made it easier to not just import arms but to make them as well. Gaza became an armed camp and raiding in a couple of jeeps was no longer an option. The vacuum the IDF left was filled with various neighborhood gangs, tribes etc.

Israel has not left the westbank....continues to raid nightly and keeps up intense pressure on the various groups. They're members dont sleep in the same place twice. That is why there are no kassams coming out of the westbank. If and when israel leaves depending upon the political situation the possibility of kassams is very real..and retaking the westbank as in gaza will be very costly.
