In case of long-term instructions, the military has been directed to enhance vigilance in response to possible attacks.
On the 6th local time, reporters from the main station learned that Israeli Defense Minister Katz issued a statement that day, claiming that intelligence indicated the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) planned to launch an attack on the 7th, coinciding with the third anniversary of the outbreak of the new round of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He has instructed the Israeli military to fully raise its alert status.
Katz insisted in an official statement that the Israeli military must be prepared for the worst-case scenario and that "in addition to the ongoing strong actions, decisive measures should be taken against any intelligence or warnings to thwart any threats."
Katz also threatened that if the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip suffers any harm, Hamas and the local residents of Gaza will pay an "extraordinarily heavy price" for it. (Main station reporter Zhao Bing)
