Surveillance soldiers on the Gaza border are reporting increased armed terrorist activity within the Gaza Strip, reminiscent of the unheeded warnings before the October 7, 2023, attack. Soldiers from IDF Unit 414 described seeing armed terrorists operating and planting explosives along the Gaza Yellow Line, with one soldier stating, "It's just like before October 7." They express feelings of helplessness and pointlessness if their intelligence is not acted upon. Amidst this, Jared Kushner is expected to visit Israel next week to urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to advance a US-backed plan for Hamas disarmament, which Hamas has accepted but Netanyahu has opposed. The EU has also welcomed Israel's extension of the mandate for its border assistance mission at the Rafah crossing and a program for Palestinian police training.
