In parallel to discussions in Cairo, the defense system is preparing for the possibility that tomorrow (Monday) at midnight at the end of the five-day cease-fire, terrorist organizations, especially Hamas, will resume firing of rockets into Israel.

It appears that the closure of the railway line in the Gaza Strip, is for fear that terror groups are going to try to fire anti-tank missiles at the train in these sections.

The IDF says that there is no intention to get into a war of attrition. Rockets from Gaza will be reciprocated so that Hamas will suffer a "per loss" price. The army assumes that "anything can happen" and is preparing for the possibility that the ceasefire will not last.

As of now, the army still has many forces around the Gaza Strip, with the exception of a number of training units, no forces were released from Gaza except for refreshments. In the days since the IDF left the Gaza Strip, the soldiers and commanders went on vacations, tools were refreshed and returned to competence.
