- A severe response is threatened if Israeli forces are harmed.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to increase their readiness and prepare for all possible scenarios in Gaza ahead of October 7, the anniversary of the Hamas attacks. The directive comes in response to intelligence indicating Hamas's intentions to launch attacks and acts of terror against Israeli forces in Gaza on that day.
Katz emphasized the need for a severe level of preparedness and forceful action against any threat, stating that this should go beyond the already intense operations currently underway. He warned that if Israeli forces suffer any casualties, Hamas and the population of Gaza would pay a heavy price, disproportionate to the event. This warning was reiterated by the Prime Minister and Defense Minister during their visit to the Kissufim base on the Gaza border with the Southern Command's general.
