Iron Dome units were positioned near the northern city of Haifa, home to Israel’s largest port and home base for its navy. The army told Channel 2 that the missile defense battery was being deployed based on security assessments, but gave no specific information regarding the development. The deployment of the anti-missile battery came shortly after a senior defense official told the press that there could be “symbolic” rocket fire at Israel from the Gaza Strip in solidarity with Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. According to the report, Israel’s defense establishment is preparing for a possible escalation of clashes which could last several more days. In addition 2,000 combat soldiers were deployed to the West Bank to bolster security around settlements in the region following a fatal terror attack in the Etzion bloc area on Monday that claimed the life of 24-year-old Israeli woman.
