Israeli border guards stand guard near the Lion's Gate of the Old City wall of Jerusalem on April 7, 2023 during the third Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, coinciding with Good Friday to Catholic and Western Christians and with the Jewish Passover holiday. AFPPIX: Rockets were fired from Syria yesterday after Israel began calling up police and army reservists following attacks that killed three people, including an Italian tourist, and earlier rocket fire from Lebanon.
The unrest comes as the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan, Jewish Passover, and Christian Easter coincide. Italian President Sergio Mattarella condemned in a press release a “despicable terrorist act”. The Rome public prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation. After the Tel Aviv attack, Netanyahu instructed the police to “mobilise all reserve border police units” and directed the army to “mobilise additional forces”, his office said.The defence ministry confirmed late Saturday it had mobilised soldiers to support the police, and that it would tighten entry restrictions into Israel for Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, in particular workers.
Israel “struck targets, including terror infrastructures, belonging to the Hamas terrorist organisation in southern Lebanon”, the army said.
