Security officials believe that the likelihood of an escalation and missile fire from the Gaza Strip in retaliation for today's flag march in Al-Quds is lower than it was in the days prior to the recent "Shield and Arrow" aggression by the occupation. However, the emergence of abnormal events is still possible. During the march, very few factors are considered, such as violent clashes between the marching settlers and the Palestinians or martyrs who may be killed by the occupation's bullets.
For this reason, the security apparatus views the dangers posed by Hamas from Lebanon as well as the Gaza Strip as a possibility that necessitates, at the very least, appropriate preparation.
The toughest task is primarily in front of the occupation police, who must effectively eliminate foci of friction, pinpoint weak spots, stop provocations from both settlers and Palestinians, and be successful in separating people at vulnerable locations like Bab Al-Amoud.
As a result, a state of high alert is anticipated for everything having to do with the positioning of air defense systems south of occupied Palestine in 1948. Also, this is applied to other potential outcomes, like a symbolic shooting attempt at Jerusalem or a shooting from a refugee camp in Lebanon in support of the Palestinian struggle.
In spite of Hamas' threats, there is still a chance that it will pass without confrontation. Much will depend on how the police and border guards respond to challenging and complex scenarios that can occur in the field.
