Israel has reportedly deployed air defenses across the country in recent days in preparation for possible major violence tomorrow on the fourth Friday of Ramadan, which coincides with Iran’s “Quds Day” which frequently sees incitement and cyber attacks against Israeli targets.
The Kan public broadcaster and the Haaretz daily report that Iron Dome batteries have been deployed throughout the country and especially in the north, ahead of mass prayers expected at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Kan also reports that police are preparing for potential clashes in Jerusalem and deploying extra forces.
