The Israeli police mobilized 3,<> of its members to secure the "flag march" to be held tomorrow in Jerusalem. Hamas called on Palestinians to confront the march and clash with the occupation, and the Palestinian presidency described it as provocative.
The Israeli army took measures along the borders with the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, raising the state of alert in its forces and reinforcing them with Iron Dome systems. Right-wing groups also called for large-scale raids on the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Thursday, carrying Israeli flags.
