The IDF estimates that the calm in Gaza could last for a long time.
The assessment is based on a combination of several factors. First, Operation Guardian of the Wall, which created a deterrent against Hamas. Hamas in the form of the civilian concessions that Israel grants to the Strip - so the terrorist organization has something to lose.
Another reason for the expected silence is the deterrence of the latest operation against the Islamic Jihad. The IDF estimates that the Jihad will no longer enter into conflicts against Israel, without prior backing from Hamas .
