The IDF is on high alert for the anniversary of the October 7 massacre, which falls out on Monday.

Security officials believe that Hamas will try to disrupt the expected memorial events with rocket fire – including toward central Israel – or via other attacks.

The IDF Southern Command has bolstered its forces along the Gaza border and in the Netzarim Corridor in the center of the Strip.

“Our forces are operating in the north, south and center of Gaza, conducting numerous strikes and eliminating terrorists,” Southern Command head Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman said. “The Southern Command is on high alert for the coming days.”
