The south is also sitting down tomorrow for fear of jihad's revenge: "They set the agenda for us, it's enough that they threaten"

A day has passed since the arrest of the organization's senior member of the IDF's activities in Jenin, and vigilance in the Gaza Strip is still at its height. The IDF blocked many roads in the area, the residents preferred to stay in their homes, and in many places they will switch to a remote work format.

The residents protest: "There are no complaints against the IDF, but it is not possible for the organizations to disable everything here"

A day after the arrest of the senior Islamic Jihad in the refugee camp in Jenin, the threat of rockets and missiles from the Gaza Strip still hovers in the air, so it was decided to continue taking precautionary measures.

This, at a time when heavy pressure is being exerted on Hamas to curb the Islamic Jihad in Gaza.

The blockades of central roads in Otef will continue tomorrow as well, and the residents of the area are expressing their displeasure that their daily lives are being affected by threats from the terrorist organizations.

Shimon Elkhart, a resident of Sderot, who owns a restaurant, reveals that today no customers came to his business at all.

"And this is a time when the restaurant is full. Today, unlike previous times, just for the intention of shooting, the entire entourage is disabled. Today we were taught that they should not shoot, only threaten and then we are disabled. I do not accept this equation."

Aviva Fuld, a resident of Netiv Hathara, is aware that the actions are aimed at protecting the lives of the residents, but she is also convinced that shutting down their lives is not the right way.

"It cannot be that a terrorist organization will disrupt our lives in half of the country and harm the livelihood of the residents of the Otaf. We must restore the deterrence that no longer exists."

Guy, a resident of Kerem Shalom added: "Once again the terrorist organizations set the agenda in Israel. We have no complaints about the IDF doing its job, but on the other hand it is not possible for the terrorist organizations to disable us in the Otaf whenever they want."

In the background of the assessments of the situation and the protection of the perimeter fence in the Gaza Strip, and with the strong vigilance against the launch of rockets, mortar bombs, anti-tank missiles and sniper fire, the Egyptian operators and other factors are making efforts to calm the spirits in Gaza and the West Bank territories.

At the end of a security situation assessment by the Southern Command, it was decided that Route 232 will be blocked In the section between Levels and Saad, and agricultural roads west of the road were also blocked. It was decided that the section between Saad and Kerem Shalom will also continue to be blocked to traffic.
