Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Tuesday to increase the alert level and prepare for all possible scenarios in the Gaza Strip, ahead of the anniversary of the October 7th attacks. The directive comes amid intelligence indicating Hamas's intentions to carry out attacks and assaults against IDF forces in Gaza on the upcoming anniversary, according to the Defense Minister's office. Katz emphasized the need for serious preparedness and a forceful response to any intelligence or warning, aiming to thwart any threat, in addition to ongoing military operations in the strip. The Defense Minister's office stated that if IDF forces are harmed, Hamas and the population of Gaza will pay a heavy price, "beyond all proportion." This warning follows recent statements made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz during their visit to the Kisufim outpost near the Gaza border, accompanied by the head of the Southern Command.
