Israel has sent messages that if the shooting continues, the response will be strong.
Will the shooting from Gaza stop?

After several days of unrest in the Gaza Strip and Sderot, no rockets were fired at Israeli territory from Gaza tonight (Monday to Tuesday).
The reason for this seems to be the messages conveyed from Israel that if the situation continues, the response will be difficult and broad.
The political security cabinet has authorized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Bnei Gantz to begin military action against Hamas in the Gaza Strip in case the shooting continues.
In light of the fact that Israel has not responded in recent days to the firing from the Gaza Strip, and in light of the "open book" policy, the Israeli response, if it comes, will be powerful and will aim against quality goals that bother Israel.
It seems that the move is mainly intended to send a threatening message to Hamas, since Israel is not interested in degenerating into a round of fighting with the organization.
In light of the shooting, the defense establishment decided to reduce the fishing space in the Gaza Strip until further notice.
In recent days, Hamas has sent messages to Israel that on Tuesday they tried to prevent the firing on Israel and were unsuccessful.
But as the shooting continues, Israel's restraint space shrinks.
Even if in the end Israel does not respond this time that the firing from Gaza will not continue, the defense establishment clarifies that "the notebook is open and the hand is recording" and that the next round, when it begins, will begin at a higher intensity in light of a series of security breaches.
"Hope not to go back to the loop"
Warming in the Gaza Envelope sector has left residents of the area a few sleepless nights.
Reuven Nir, CEO of the Kfar Aza Mefalsim Partnership, which is responsible for 15,000 dunams of agricultural fields, tells Israel Today that "since the beginning of the Corona, there has been unclear silence here.
We work day and night, letting us get to the border freely.
In the past every Monday and Thursday there were sniper warnings or shooting and infiltration options.
There were times when we were taken out of the area several times a day. "When the whole country was in crisis, the envelope blossomed.
"I hope we do not go back to the loop," Nir adds, "it is not yet an escalation as expected and I hope it will not be, but with our guys there is no day and no night. We have already been through much harder, massive and scary things from last weekend's events. "Adapt yourself to the situation. You do not go out too much, you are not exposed, you do what you have to do and nothing more."
