The Gaza terror group “Revolutionary Youth,” which has been organizing riots on the Israel border since mid-September, calls off a rally along the security fence a few hours after announcing it.

The group says on its Telegram channel that the call for unrest was made by some group members who had not previously consulted with the leadership, adding that whoever will go to the border today will have to take responsibility for it.

The group adds that it is still “closely monitoring” the actions of the “Zionist enemy” and whether Israel will respect the commitments that were achieved through the mediators last week.
