IDF forces in the Gaza Strip are on high alert due to concerns that Hamas might 'empty its arsenals' following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza. The military fears Hamas will use its remaining weapons to fire rocket and mortar barrages, as well as attempt to harm IDF soldiers. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir instructed forces to 'prepare strong defensive measures,' as several launches were carried out within Gaza in recent hours - without damage or casualties.
