Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated the IDF for the "successful thwarting of the terrorists in Jenin" in an X/Twitter Post earlier on Friday.

There are preparations to open the crossing on September 1, but it still requires final approval, sources from COGAT told The Jerusalem Post.

Katz's visit follows an IDF strike in Syria near Damascus on Saturday, which itself followed a larger strike on a military airfield on August 18.

Israeli officials warned the BoP on Sunday that Israel would escalate its activity in the Gaza Strip if the launches were not halted within 72 hours, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post.

Barrack’s apparent support for the Turkish-Syrian account over Israel’s may have undermined his credibility in Jerusalem as a mediator in potential Israel-Syria security talks.

The IDF noted that the continued engineering activity in these areas also prevents Hezbollah from carrying out guerrilla operations.
