Defense Minister Benny Gantz instructed the IDF to prepare for the possibility of widespread attacks against Islamic Jihad targets along the Gaza Strip, in response to the threat of an anti-tank missile attack on IDF soldiers and Israeli citizens, following which the roads were closed. The security establishment fears that Hamas may join to escalate and launch rockets towards the rear of the State of Israel. An assessment of the issue will be received in the next day or so.

The security establishment estimates that the closing of the border crossings will lead to a reduction in the amount of oil in the Gaza Strip, which is already well felt, and thus to a reduction in electricity hours in Gaza.

In addition, the closing of the Erez crossing has led to the fact that Palestinian workers are afraid to return from work in Israel to Gaza, because at this stage there is no commitment that the crossing will open on Sunday, and therefore they may lose salaries and work.

These things may put pressure on Hamas to promote calm between the Islamic Jihad and Israel.

At the same time, the Minister of Defense ordered to continue making arrests in Judea and Samaria, including terrorist operatives from the Islamic Jihad.
