The Israeli military says it remains on high alert on all fronts amid the Passover holiday.

“Even during Passover, the IDF continues operational activity and full readiness in all arenas,” it says in a statement.

In the Gaza Strip, the military says the Nahal Infantry Brigade continues to operate in the Netzarim corridor, calling in airstrikes against Hamas operatives in the area over the past day.

In northern Israel, the IDF says it is deployed along the Lebanon and Syrian borders, with “strong defense and with readiness for attack.” The military says troops are carrying out ambushes, as well as locating and directing strikes on Hezbollah operatives and sites.

In the West Bank, IDF troops are deployed to protect settlements and highways. Overnight, troops detained 13 wanted Palestinians, the military says.

The IDF is currently operating in Hebron, at the homes of the two teenage terrorists who carried out the car-ramming and attempted shooting attack in Jerusalem this morning.
