Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant ordered a "complete siege" on the Gaza Strip with no electricity, food, or fuel to be allowed in. Israel controls Gaza's airspace, shoreline, and border crossings, restricting entry. Egypt also controls its border with Gaza. Air raid sirens sounded in Jerusalem and across Israel as rockets were fired from Gaza. At least three explosions were heard in Jerusalem, though unclear if rockets landed or were intercepted. The Israel Defense Forces said the rockets were fired from Gaza. Earlier, Israel said forces had regained control of all communities near the Gaza barrier with some clashes still continuing in the region.
