At the same time, in recent hours, threats have intensified on social media on behalf of Hamas and other terrorist organizations, urging Palestinians and Israeli Arabs to take violent measures to "protect the change of status quo in Jerusalem and around the Temple Mount."
Defense sources said that "the threat from individual terrorists or a local organization that will carry out an attack is tangible."
According to them, "Hamas is in significant distress and in order to keep internal criticism away from it, it is inciting."
Accordingly, the IDF will increase the points of friction in Judea and Samaria and increase vigilance in the Jerusalem Envelope area.
