This step is a real indication of Gaza's decision to escalate the field action in the face of Israel, reaching the most difficult tools in the field, namely, the military escalation, after the understandings of the truce have faltered due to the Israeli government's procrastination in implementing the terms of the agreement to ease the suffocating siege on Gaza and the deteriorating economic and humanitarian conditions in the besieged strip.

The "night confusion" begins every day at night. Hundreds of Palestinian youths and young men head to the border areas of the Gaza Strip, start burning rubber tires, fire balloons at Israeli cities, and shed laser lights at the soldiers' eyes to confuse them and prevent them from sniping protesters.

The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth said Hamas was "going to a higher level of violence and allowing night demonstrations to take place on the border of the Gaza Strip." These demonstrations include the firing of "explosive devices" at the soldiers.

The events of "confusion" stopped last November after understandings reached by Egyptian, Qatari and international mediators, between Gaza and Israel, and provides for the easing of the blockade on Gaza, but Israel is delaying the implementation of this agreement.
