According to a twitter message from Channel 10 News senior defense correspondent Alon Ben-David, it is now cleared to release that in recent days, the IDF has been operating along the Nachal Ohz area to detect terror tunnels.

It is possible that seeing the presence of heaving equipment and other operations in the Nachal Ohz area in recent days led to terrorists to decide to renew mortar fire in that area today, Wednesday, 26 Nissan. As reported earlier, the IDF has declared that area a ‘closed military zone’ to prevent any non-military personnel from entering.
