This time, the army is ready: IDF preparing for possible Hamas surprise attacks on October 7 anniversary

IDF forces are reportedly on high alert and bracing for possible Hamas surprise attacks on the anniversary of October 7 tomorrow (Monday). The aim is not only to prevent those attacks but also to enable safe hosting of memorial ceremonies in the southern border areas.

According to Times of Israel, the IDF is preparing for both possible attacks on IDF forces in the Gaza Strip and possible rocket attacks and even raids into Israel itself, and all possible targets have been reinforced to prevent this.

The IDF also said that three divisions continue operations in the Gaza Strip to destroy terrorist infrastructures and degrade Hamas capabilities "until the realization of all the goals of the war," which include the collapsing of Hamas' governing and military capabilities.
