Northern Israelis are reported to be warning the government: “We will organize demonstrations and shake up Israel if you do not begin to address the situation in the north within two days.” The settlers of southern Tel Aviv, we read in the Israeli press, are petitioning the Israeli Supreme Court against the home front for failing to protect them from missile threats.
The Israel Defense Forces reported the discovery of “one of the largest hidden caches” in the northern Gaza Strip and said the captured weapons were destroyed or taken away for study.

A few days after the resumption of the active phase of hostilities in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Air Force again launched several attacks on the Syrian Arab Republic.
