Israel has readied its air defenses amid fears of a security flare-up on Friday when Paleostinian worshipers will throng the al-Aqsa Mosque for Ramadan prayers and Iran will commemorate its annual "Quds Day" with anti-Israel activities.
Iron Dome missile defense batteries were on a high state of alert for potential attacks, especially in the north, with several batteries deployed and oriented toward Leb

 ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.

after fighting between police and Paleostinians at the flashpoint al-Aqsa Mosque, which sits atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. A drone that was launched into Israel from Syria earlier this month, and downed by the air force, was likely Iranian, a military source said.
Israeli authorities closed off the airspace near the borders of Lebanon, Syria and Gaza until Sunday afternoon. The warning not to fly within six kilometers (3.7 miles) of the borders applies primarily to agriculture and other light aircraft, as airlines never fly in such close proximity to the borders.
There were also fears of attacks on the ground and Israel Defense Forces troops are prepared for possible incidents along borders.
In Gaza, terrorist groups are also bracing for possible retaliation by Israel after Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, fired volleys of rockets at Israel last week, the Kan public broadcaster reported, citing sources in the Strip.
The terror groups fear that Israel has worked to quiet the security front and lull its enemies, before launching a surprise assault. Senior leaders of the Hamas terror group have limited their public appearances and movements, the report said.
The security concerns come as Israel’s adversaries have discussed cooperation in recent weeks.
The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, Esmail Qaani, visited Lebanon’s capital Beirut last week and met with Hezbollah and Hamas, Kan reported on Thursday.
Qaani discussed uniting against Israel during the meeting with the terror groups, the report said. Qaani also visited Damascus last week.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

in Beirut on Sunday to discuss cooperation.
The final Friday of the Moslem holy month of Ramadan sees tens of thousands of worshipers at the al-Aqsa Mosque, the site of repeated festivities between security forces and Paleostinians. Fighting at the site led to rocket fire against Israel and two deadly terror attacks last week.
Also on the last Friday of Ramadan, Iran marks its annual Quds Day, or Jerusalem Day. Iran has commemorated the day since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, claiming it as an occasion to express support for the Paleostinians.
Iran commemorates the day with anti-Israel speeches, events and threats to "liberate" Jerusalem from Israeli control. Mass rallies often include incitement against Israel, including the burning of Israeli and US flags and chants of "death to Israel" and "death to America."
There are often cyber attacks against Israeli targets.
In Jerusalem, police geared up for unrest as Paleostinians crowded the Temple Mount and al-Aqsa Mosque overnight Thursday-Friday.
Dozens of Paleostinians at the site chanted against Israel and Jews, and praised bully boyz including Hamas military commander Muhammad Deif, Army Radio reported.
Some Paleostinians threw rocks and glass bottles at police. Border Police officers were sent to the area but did not enter the Temple Mount.
Hamas has urged Paleostinians to flock to the al-Aqsa Mosque and not to leave the site during Ramadan, issuing threats against Israel over the site.
Over 2,000 police and Border Police officers will deploy around Jerusalem on Friday, with reinforcements headed to the Old City, the outskirts of the capital, and East Jerusalem.
