#Israel raises the alert on the #Gaza border in anticipation of Islamic Jihad's response to the arrest of its leader in the West Bank

 The Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, reported today, Tuesday, that the alert level in the Iron Dome systems in the south has been raised to the maximum level, and roads along the Gaza Strip have been closed in anticipation of a response from the Islamic Jihad movement to the arrest of Sheikh Bassam Al-Saadi, one of its most prominent leaders in the West Bank.

The newspaper added that this decision was taken following a security meeting chaired by the Israeli Prime Minister to study the possibilities of an explosion in the situation with Gaza, in which alternative Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and the leaders of the security services and the army participated.

According to Yedioth Ahronoth, the Israeli army closed the streets adjacent to the Gaza border, preventing the movement of civilian vehicles, in anticipation that the Islamic Jihad movement in the Strip would launch fire or rockets in retaliation for al-Saadi's arrest.

The Palestinian Civil Affairs Authority reported that the Beit Hanoun crossing was closed to the movement of individuals, workers, merchants and patients in both directions.

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, had declared alert and raised its readiness in response to the arrest of Sheikh Bassam Al-Saadi.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) also mourned the martyr Dirar Riyad Al-Kafrini, and said that "the barbaric aggression against Jenin and the arrest of the leader of the Islamic Jihad Movement Bassam Al-Saadi after the beating of him and his family will ignite the resistance that will pursue the occupation and herds of settlers everywhere on our blessed land." .

Funerals and arrests

Meanwhile, the corpse of the 17-year-old Dirar al-Kafrini, who was martyred last night during an Israeli force storming the camp to arrest Sheikh Bassam al-Saadi, who is considered by Israel to be the largest leader of the Islamic Jihad movement in the West Bank, was buried in Jenin today.

The Palestinian boy was martyred after he was transferred to Jenin Governmental Hospital, and a young man was shot in the leg with live bullets and was taken to Ibn Sina Hospital, and his injury was described as moderate.

The Jenin Brigade of the Al-Quds Brigades had mourned the martyr Al-Kafrini, saying that he was a member of the Night Confusion Units, and was martyred while standing up to the Israeli occupation forces when they stormed the Jenin refugee camp.

The battalion confirmed through its account on Telegram that its fighters engaged in a clash with the occupation forces that stormed the camp.

And the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) said that special forces (undercover) accompanied by the occupation soldiers stormed the Jenin camp from several sides, amid clashes with young men, and arrested the freed prisoner Bassam Al-Saadi, and the young man Ashraf Al-Jada from Wadi Burqin.
