By October 7, Israel had increased combat readiness.

Security tensions are rising in Israel over several important dates, from October 7 to October 24. Combat readiness is especially heightened in Judea and Samaria due to possible attempts by terrorists to infiltrate Jewish settlements, similar to last year's incident in Otef-Aza.

Many warnings have been received about impending terrorist attacks, especially in Samaria. Various attack scenarios are mentioned, ranging from a repeat of the October 7 attack to shelling on roads. Security services have taken steps to strengthen protection of vulnerable settlements and increased border controls along the separation fence.

The IDF continues Operation Summer Camps in Northern Samaria, and in the coming days the government may decide to introduce closed areas in Judea and Samaria. The main focus now is on preventing terrorist attacks and terrorists infiltrating the fence.
