On Friday, the Lebanese Al-Akhbar newspaper reported that Hamas is threatening to renew clashes with Israel after the Qatari grant intended for families in need in the Gaza Strip was reportedly halted by Israel.
The terrorist group reportedly warned Egyptian mediators that they would activate tools along the border area "shortly" and that the terrorist groups in Gaza may go as far as to completely reopen the conflict if the grant isn't allowed in within the next week.KAN news reported on Friday that IDF deputy Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Eyal Zamir told the family of IDF soldier Hadar Goldin, whose body is being held in Gaza by Hamas, that the Qatari money would not be allowed into Gaza until Goldin and the three other Israelis being held in Gaza are released.Israeli civilians Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed and the bodies of IDF soldiers Goldin and Oron Shaul are being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Additionally on Friday, right-wing Jewish groups announced that they would redo the Flag March traditionally done on Jerusalem Day next Thursday, after the Flag March this year was redirected due to heightened tensions and then disrupted due to rocket fire from Gaza.
The march is expected to begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday and head through multiple routes towards the Western Wall. Israel Police have approved the march, according to Channel 12.
Operation Guardian of the Walls, which ended a few weeks ago after a ceasefire was reached between Hamas and Israel, was sparked amid heightened tensions surrounding discussions over potential evictions in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
While there have been clashes on the Temple Mount between Palestinians and Israeli security forces, Hamas has so far refrained from firing more rockets, despite threats it has issued.
