In the Gaza Strip, there is a response to the announcement of the coordinator of operations in the territories released this morning (Saturday), according to which, following the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, the Erez crossing will not open on Sunday for workers and traders to leave the Gaza Strip.
Also, the decision to open the aisle will be examined according to the assessment of the situation.
The defense establishment decided not to attack Gaza in response to rockets that fell near the fence, but took a different kind of sanction, stating that Israel will not open the Erez crossing tomorrow for workers and traders to leave the Gaza Strip.
In practice, the decision is valid for today only, and if there are no more rockets, there is a high probability that in the assessment of the situation that will take place today, the sanction will be revoked.
The message that Israel is trying to convey is that the continuation of terrorist activity from Gaza will lead to the risk of continued civilian activity in the Gaza Strip.
A senior Islamic Jihad official, Muhammad al-Hindi, referred to Israel's decision and said that "the Gaza Strip, which has become a fortress of resistance against Israel's crimes and aggression, cannot be blackmailed."
Added that.
"What is called relief is a natural right of the residents of Gaza, and less than the minimum for residents suffering from the siege and aggression."
The trade union association in the Gaza Strip said: "Closing the Erez crossing is a collective punishment for about 12,000 workers" and warned that the move would affect the fragile Peles economy, especially in the run-up to the battle of Eid al-Fitr.

Hamas is not interested in a round of fighting, the IDF and the defense establishment are preparing for the upcoming events
After a very tense weekend, especially in the south of the country, the IDF and the defense establishment estimate that we have two particularly challenging weeks ahead in the Palestinian arena. .
The defense establishment estimates that Hamas is not interested in another round of violence with Israel at this time, but it can be assumed that the organization is not dissatisfied with the fact that rebellious organizations are firing at Israel while violence on the Temple Mount is on the rise.
This was in an attempt to preserve the image he tried to create in the Guardian of the Walls about a year ago, when he was portrayed as a "Magen Yerushalayim.
" The most serious incident was on Wednesday evening, when a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip at Sderot. ".
According to the army, it is a military outpost and the opening of a terrorist tunnel that leads to an underground structure with chemical raw materials used to make rocket engines, and the IDF noted that the attack "will lead to significant damage to the rocket production process in the Gaza Strip." It was a site for the production of medium-range rockets, for distances of 15 km and more, and it is estimated that it will take the Palestinians a good few months to rehabilitate the damaged capacity.
The target was the IDF's target for a long time, and the defense establishment was just waiting for an opportunity to attack it.
Near the time of the attack, a red alert was activated again in the Gaza Strip, and the IDF said: "Four launches from the Gaza Strip have been identified and intercepted by air defense fighters.
Later, a warning was reported in Sderot and in the Gaza Envelope area.
In retrospect, it turned out that all these warnings were due to bullets, and the Iron Dome interceptor missiles were launched for free.
The IDF later announced that it had attacked anti-aircraft positions in response to Hamas' attempts to fire at IAF planes. Casualties.
On Saturday evening, rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
One rocket landed in an open area near the fence in the northern Gaza Strip, and another fell inside the Gaza Strip.
According to Palestinian reports, the rocket fell behind UNRWA schools in eastern Beit Hanoun, injuring several residents.
The defense establishment hopes that the economic attack will spur Hamas to take more drastic measures against Islamic Jihad in order to curb it.
This is because it is estimated that Hamas is not interested in another round of violence with Israel at this time, but in Israel it believes that the organization is not doing anything it can to curb those rebellious people.
As mentioned, in the next two weeks there will be a number of days commemorating the days of calamity: the first of which will take place this coming Tuesday, when the Muslims will mark the night of al-Qadr.
Friday this week will be the last Friday of Ramadan, and Sunday will already be Eid al-Fitr.
Later, Israel will celebrate Independence Day, which the Palestinians mark on "Nakba Day."
In light of this, the defense establishment is expected to maintain a very high level of vigilance in the coming days throughout the Palestinian arena, and the IDF
is preparing for a variety of possible developments - defensively and even offensively.
The seam line and the assessment is that an emergency recruitment of about 6 reserve battalions will be approved that will release the regular forces from defending the seam line.
The IDF is expected to remain in the Palestinian Authority with increased forces, and at the moment, despite the severe attacks in Israel and beyond the Green Line, the defense establishment can look with some satisfaction at the fact that at least at this moment, there is no Palestinian drift in the West Bank.
