Numerous IDF and Israel Border Police forces were positioned in the area and the forces deployed riot dispersal means. As of now, all of the incidents have concluded.
In addition to the forces currently stationed in Judea and Samaria, it was decided to reinforce the area with several IDF companies and additional Israel Border Police forces.

** IDF: Repairing a water line in the Khan Yunis area and opening the new “Northern Crossing”; efforts continue to enable the entry of humanitarian aid to residents of the Gaza Strip
The IDF, via the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), continues efforts to facilitate the entry of hundreds of trucks containing food supplies and humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza.
Since the beginning of the war, over 22,700 trucks containing 428,000 tons of humanitarian aid have passed through through the Kerem Shalom and Nitzana crossings into Gaza following security checks. In addition, in recent months, over 6,250 food packages have been airdropped in 72 airdrops to distribution points throughout the Gaza Strip, as part of the humanitarian effort.
Last week (April 7 - April 13), approximately 1,866 humanitarian aid trucks were checked and entered through the crossings. 1,463 food packages were dropped in 12 airdrops.
Furthermore, this week, the Coordination and Liaison Administration for Gaza of COGAT, together with the Southern Command, coordinated the entry of 267 trucks carrying humanitarian aid into the northern Gaza Strip. On Thursday, a new crossing from Israel into northern Gaza - the ‘Northern Crossing’ - began operating as part of efforts to increase aid routes to the northern Gaza Strip.
In addition, the Coordination and Liaison Administration for Gaza coordinated works to repair a main water line in the Gaza Strip - Bani Suheila for the Khan Yunis region.
The IDF will continue its efforts to allow humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea in accordance with international law.

HAMAS’ REPORTS
Hezbollah: We targeted with missile weapons a gathering of Israeli enemy soldiers in “Harsh Adathar”, and we hit it directly.
** Acting head of Hamas in the West Bank, Zaher Jabareen, told Al Jazeera:
- The West Bank is at the heart of the conflict and the Zionist plan, and the occupation wants to swallow up the rights of our people
The enemy government developed a plan in the West Bank in three stages, including settlement, Al-Aqsa, and our prisoners
The current occupation government took a decision to expel the Palestinians from their lands in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and armed the settlers.
** Moments ago, there was a very violent targeting north of the Nuseirat camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip. The targeting was near Al-Mughraqa Bridge, north of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip
** ⭕️In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

** Hamas leader Osama Hamdan:
The latest Israeli card regarding the negotiations does not allow the return of the displaced to northern Gaza
- We stressed the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation in stages from the Gaza Strip, the return of the displaced, and the entry of aid without conditions
- There is no understanding with the occupation without stopping the aggression against the Gaza Strip
- Over the past three months, "Israel" has continued to bring the truce negotiations to a dead end.
