The source said the terrorist organization had pledged to stop the shooting at southern communities. • Only 10 explosive balloons exploded in the envelope, two near schools. • "If peace is maintained, Israel will expand its fishing grounds to 15 miles and return trading permits."

Will the silence return to the south? A security source said Thursday that the Hamas organization plans to stop the fire at southern communities. The source said that "Hamas has sent messages to Israel that they unilaterally decided to stop ballooning and firing rockets at Israel."

Disturbing documentation from Gaza: balloons with mortar shells

The source also added that this weekend will serve as a test to secure the terrorist organization, and if it is kept quiet - Israel will expand the fishing space allowed by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to 15 miles and Israel will allow Gaza merchants to enter Israel.

The organization's decision came on the back of a tense day in the south, which included over ten explosive balloons exploding over the Gaza envelope communities. Some of the balloons protested near schools, and in addition, at least one of the localities in the Sdeot Negev area exploded at least four balloons, creating panic in the community.

Earlier today, we announced that, according to all the latest assessments in the security leadership, significant military action in Gaza is closer than ever, but rejected due to the elections. Israel still hopes that Hamas will take hold of its weapons and stop the rocket fire and launch the explosives, but the chances are, it seems, diminishing.

According to a senior official, the IDF could easily deteriorate the situation and lead to a real escalation, which will lead to the same military operation (on which Netanyahu said: "We are preparing Hamas for the surprise of his life"), but because of the election campaign and the assessment that a military campaign may be of the planned size To bring it down to its postponement - the IDF prefers to disrespect, to respond to measured responses, and to avoid measures that were not carried out without the election campaign.
