Following the decision to allow the Flag March on Yerushalayim to go on as planned Tuesday, the IDF and security forces were making preparations for possible violence from the Palestinians.

The IDF has ordered the deployment of additional Iron Dome air defense batteries in Israel’s south, reinforcement of troops at flashpoints in Yehuda and Shomron, alongside a heavier presence of Border Police in Yerushalayim, according to media reports.

The Hamas incendiary balloon unit announced it will start up again on Tuesday.
