In the shadow of the warming of the security situation in the Gaza Strip, four fires broke out today (Monday) near one of the localities in the Eshkol Regional Council.
The suspicion that the fires broke out because of an incendiary balloon was investigated.
Meanwhile, a source in the terrorist organizations who spoke with the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported today that in the last two days there have been intense contacts between Hamas and the Egyptian mediator, in order to prevent an escalation in the Gaza Strip.
On the other hand, terrorist organizations in Gaza said at a press conference that "popular activities" would continue.
According to the report, the terrorist organization Hamas told Egypt that it would continue with "popular activities" until Israel withdrew from all measures against Gaza.
At the same time, the factions informed the mediators that the shooting of a fatally wounded border fighter, Barel Hadaria Shmueli, was unplanned and came in response to IDF sniper fire at the participants in the rage demonstration on Saturday.

In the shadow of security tensions on the Gaza-Israel border, it should be noted that terrorist elements have announced that activities on the fence will continue this week, with Gaza planning a rage on Tuesday, near the Erez checkpoint, which will include a demonstration of hundreds of children.
Another demonstration is expected to take place in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, similar to the format of the demonstration that took place on Saturday.
This is what the Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyam learned from a source in the terrorist organizations in Gaza.
In addition, Palestinian terrorist organizations stressed that they would not give Israel more time and pointed to the need to begin Qatari money transfer measures during the current week, in addition to approving the introduction of construction materials to rehabilitate the rubble from Operation Wall Guard.
At the same time, the factions indicated to the Egyptian mediator that they were dissatisfied with the partial opening of the crossings and the introduction of limited quantities of goods.
They demanded that the mediator expand the activity in the crossings to the level it was before the military operation.
As you may recall, Qatar and the UN signed a memorandum of understanding last week to transfer Qatari money to families in Gaza. In addition to the money for fuel, they will also transfer $ 10 million to the UN, with the aim of distributing coupons to 100,000 families.
The distribution of the money is expected to take place in September.
Meanwhile, the Egyptians informed Hamas that they were closing the Rafah crossing today.
