“The period of calm [Israel] has experienced has passed, and it has to prepare for the sounds of our explosions. We will continue our popular movement until the complete lifting of the siege on the Gaza Strip,” the night units warned in a statement earlier on Saturday.
The warning despite the easing of some restrictions on the Gaza Strip that went into effect on Wednesday ahead of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and US President Joe Biden’s meeting.
