On Friday, June 7, 2019, a return march was not held because of Eid al-Fitr. Senior Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) figures threatened to renew the escalation if Israel does not implement what they call the “understandings of the lull.” They were referring to the escalation of the violence of the return marches, and the increase in the number of incendiary balloons launched into Israeli territory.
