Standby on the Gaza border: Fear in the defense establishment of additional launches from the Gaza Strip
Defense sources believe that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the sequence of launches from the Gaza Strip, contrary to Hamas' position.
According to them, the decision to impose a civil sanction and close the Erez crossing to the entry of workers was intended to spur Hamas to increase enforcement.
At the same time, preparations for escalation continue: "The target bank is full"

Security tensions in the south are maintained, and the defense establishment does not rule out the possibility that another rocket will be launched from Gaza tonight (Saturday).
This, after three barrages were registered within a day from the Gaza Strip.
Defense sources say that those behind the rocket launches are Islamic Jihad operatives and Salafist figures from the Gaza Strip, contrary to Hamas' position.
The IDF did not respond to the recent launches from Gaza, and after consultations, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz decided to close the Erez crossing tomorrow, imposing an economic sanction on the Gaza Strip and preventing thousands of Palestinian workers from moving from Gaza to Israel
. Enforcement against those rocket launchers and if the launches do not stop, Israel will consider intensifying its attacks on Hamas bases in the Gaza Strip.

"No one rules out the possibility of launching tonight, but the IDF is ready for all the scenarios," security officials said tonight.
Nobody wants it on the Israeli side, but there is no intention to oppose it.
And wait for peace to return. "The defense establishment will maintain a high level of alert for the next eight days until the end of Ramadan, with an emphasis on" Lilat al-Qadir "and the last Friday of Ramadan on the Temple Mount.
Sources in the IDF have told Walla in recent days that "the last thing Hamas wants now is a direct confrontation with Israel.
He is not ready for escalation.
The military arm of the organization has been in large gaps since Operation Wall Guard in all areas.
Tunnels, rocket production, ammunition, training, development of special means and more.
"The IDF is in the opposite position. The target bank of the Southern Command is full. There are enough armaments. An air defense system is on high alert. Operational plans for the campaign in Gaza have been completed and the maneuvering divisions have trained in special facilities for a deep-fighting Palestinian scenario."
On the night between Friday and Saturday, a launch was reported from the Gaza Strip to Israel, which did not trigger an alarm.
Earlier, two rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip toward Israel, with one of the rockets falling in an open area near the border fence in the Gaza Strip, and the other falling inside the Gaza Strip.
The rocket fire did not cause any casualties.
