Israel’s security forces are preparing for the possibility of a flare-up with the Gaza Strip following repeated incidents of rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave over the past week.
Channel 12 news reported Saturday that if Israel’s decision to close its pedestrian crossing with Gaza does not curtail rocket attacks, the military is ready to resume retaliatory strikes or even begin a wider operation.
The unsourced report said the military is preparing for the possibility that the situation could escalate into several days of combat between Israel and the Strip.
Israel avoided responding militarily to three rockets fired from the Hamas-run coastal enclave at southern Israel late Friday — despite carrying out several strikes this week in response to similar attacks — opting instead to temporarily close off its sole pedestrian crossing with the Gaza Strip, the Erez Crossing.
With Palestinian workers employed in Israel bringing in millions of shekels a day into the enclave, Jerusalem hopes the economic pressure will convince Hamas to crack down on rocket launches, which it believes are being carried out by other groups in the Strip. READ MORE
