The Israel Defense Forces are preparing for Hamas-planned riots, expected to begin Friday, according to an IDF statement. The military did not specify the location or scale of the planned unrest.
The IDF announced it is preparing for planned 'riots' (הפרות סדר) orchestrated by Hamas, expected to begin Friday. The brief statement did not specify the theater—whether the Gaza border, Judea and Samaria, or elsewhere—nor the expected scale. The announcement comes amid ongoing security tensions. A separate bulletin on Thursday noted IDF exercises in the Etzion and Menashe sectors this week; however, this statement appears to be a distinct operational directive rather than a drill.
