In the past few days, IDF troops have been drilling for a potential rapid return to areas in Gaza from which the IDF withdrew under the deal, including a return to the Netzarim Corridor, and for the movement of the civilian populace from the north of the Strip to humanitarian areas in the south of the Strip, Channel 12 reports.
Two IDF divisions are currently deployed to a buffer zone on the Gaza border, including the Philadelphi Corridor on the Gaza-Egypt border.
The report says the Southern Command is on heightened alert and readying for a potential return to fighting at short notice, as talks on the next phase of the ceasefire deal stall.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz will meet tomorrow along with other security officials to discuss preparations for a potential return to warfare in Gaza, and a review of all potential war fronts, Channel 12 reports.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
