In addition, during the holiday week, far-right activists capable of committing nationalist crime may arrive.

"The task of preventing a serious nationalist crime is routine, but all the more so in such periods when an area is filled with travelers from all over the country," security officials explained.

In the IDF, the GSS and the police will be required to recommend to the political echelon the professional decision and ways of dealing with it.

Security sources said this morning that "the direction is to reinforce Judea and Samaria with additional forces and to consider restrictions on movement for Palestinians in certain areas."

"Everything is open and at the discretion of the chief of staff and then the political echelon. This is a very sensitive issue."

Meanwhile, IDF sources said that Hamas had made a decision to set fire to Jerusalem and the territories of Judea and Samaria and to keep the Gaza Strip out of the conflict.

Security sources said this morning: "Hamas is examining Israel. Trying to understand how far it can stretch the rope. Just as everyone hears the calls for Muhammad Daf to join the confrontation, we also hear.
