The IDF raised its level of combat readiness in the Gaza Strip after receiving intelligence about a possible concentration of Hamas militants. To verify the information, a 'Zik' drone was dispatched, but no signs of a concentration were found during the night observation. The command ordered an increased state of readiness in the area: additional units, prepared for various scenarios, were sent to military positions. In the morning, the readiness level was restored after no suspicious activity was detected. The IDF emphasized that if militants were detected, a strike would have been carried out, and political restrictions would not have been an obstacle. Earlier, 'Kursor' reported that Israeli security forces note the restoration of Hamas positions in Gaza amid restrictions on offensive operations. The organization is using the ceasefire regime to strengthen its capabilities and prepare for a new phase. Militants have adapted to the activity of Israeli units, approach closer to the 'yellow line', and gather intelligence.
