🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 — Israeli Defense Minister Katz has instructed the IDF to increase vigilance and prepare for all possible scenarios in Gaza ahead of October 7, following intelligence indicating that Hamas may attemp “attacks” and “other acts of terrorism” against Israeli forces in the area.

If Israeli forces are harmed, Katz says, "Hamas and the population of Gaza will pay a heavy price, beyond all proportion."
