They’re right to be afraid, though it’s a bit late to start taking precautions like switching over to pagers.
[IsraelTimes] Terror group claims it is still committed to ceasefire a day after it said it was halting prisoner releases, blames Israel for ‘complications’ threatening dealHamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...has reportedly instructed senior figures in the terror group to stop using cell phones amid concerns that the fragile ceasefire with Israel could fall apart, bringing with it a return of Israel’s military offensive.
Sources in Hamas told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat outlet on Tuesday that the group’s military wing and big shotship have instructed all senior political and military figures to stop using their phones, as many had returned to using the devices after the ceasefire began last month.
According to the sources, several bigwigs have already stopped using their phones over fears of attempts by the IDF to track them via the devices and assassinate them.
The three-stage ceasefire agreement, reached last month, halted some 15 months of fighting triggered by the group’s October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel, when Hamas-led hard boyz killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
The deal requires Hamas to release hostages, Israel to release thousands of Paleostinian security prisoners — including hundreds serving life sentences — and halt the fighting in the Strip, followed by negotiations for a "sustainable calm" and an IDF withdrawal from the enclave.
Hamas declared that it is still dedicated to the ceasefire, though a day earlier it had vowed not to release the next group of hostages until further notice, alleging Israeli violations of the ceasefire, in an announcement that shook the truce, sparked war preparations by Israel and prompted US President Donald Trump

to declare that if the captives aren’t released by noon Saturday the ceasefire should be ended.
"Hamas is committed to the ceasefire agreement that the (Israeli) occupation also committed to," it said in a statement on Tuesday evening, adding that "we affirm that the occupation is the party that did not abide by its commitments and is responsible for any complications or delays."
The Israel Defense Forces, meanwhile, announced that it was "extensively" bolstering its forces in the Southern Command, calling up reservists and approving battle plans for the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Strip in the event that the ceasefire-hostage deal with Hamas collapses.
The sources that spoke to Asharq al-Awsat also said that Hamas had recently uncovered spying equipment it claimed was found embedded in stones or ruins of buildings in Gaza. The equipment included cameras and listening devices that Hamas assessed as intended to identify bigwigs or hostages.
Hamas has broadened its sweeps to find such devices, which are being dismantled and examined to glean information, the sources said.
0Hamas is attempting its own monitoring operations to keep an eye on IDF movements in order to be ready to counter any incursions by special forces or other operations, the sources said.
