The defense establishment is preparing for possible revenge attacks and rocket fire from the Gaza Strip after 10 Palestinians were killed and over 100 others were injured in armed clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces in Nablus on Wednesday. Leaders in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas and the Lion's Den movements were among those killed.
Six rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip towards Ashkelon and Israeli communities near the Gaza strip and were intercepted by the IDF early on Thursday morning.
A senior Israeli security source noted that tensions have been high since last year and that there is a possibility that the raid could be the spark that ignites an escalation. The defense establishment is preparing for possible ripple effects from the operation such as revenge terrorist attacks in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the interior or rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.
