This morning, the IDF raised the alert level in the Gaza Strip in another step. In the last few hours, the waters of the Gaza Strip have been filled with armed unmanned aerial vehicles to locate anti-tank units of the Islamic Jihad - and hit them.

This, due to a concrete warning that the Islamic Jihad had sent anti-tank squads to the first line of houses in order to harm IDF soldiers, civilians or vehicles.

The concern, which has lasted for several days, stems from the arrest of the senior Islamic Jihad leader Sheikh Bassem al-Saadi on Monday.

During the day, the commander of the Gaza Division and the commander of the Southern Command will present an assessment of the situation on the ground, and in the afternoon the Chief of Staff will visit the Minister of Defense with the head of the Intelligence Division and present to him the intelligence situation and recommendations for action. The estimates are that if Hamas and Islamic Jihad do not announce a calm, Gantz will announce Additional economic sanctions.
