In the event that the situation around the Gaza continues to remain equally tense, the Israeli Defense Army (IDF) will have to abandon the “passive silence” and move from words to missiles, a high -ranking source in Jerusalem told the Israeli publication. According to him, Israel has no desire to enter into military confrontation, but he will do this if there is no other choice.
The source of the publication believes that the Palestinian Islamic movement (Hamas) will sooner or later have to put pressure on the Islamic Jihad, who wants to avenge his leader in Judea and Samaria. If Hamas does not do this himself, then thousands of Palestinians who suffered due to escalation will “remind him”. He noted that Hamas understands that another confrontation would bring nothing good. According to the source, Israel is ready to give the Enclave leadership for another two to three days for negotiations with Islamic jihad, “but after this period will begin to act independently. “Gas is already causing huge economic damage now. Israel also suffers losses due to the temporary blockade of the south, but these losses are incomparable with those that carry 2.5 million Palestinians in Gaza,” said the interlocutor Ynet.
The tense situation in Israel arose against the backdrop of the arrest of one of the leaders of the Islamic Jihad – Basam al -Saadi Israeli military arrested on the night of August 2 in Jennin.
