The five sites in question are said to be vulnerable to anti-tank guided missile attacks and sniper fire.
According to the IDF, the decision was made following a "situational assessment" as both Hamas and Islamic Jihad had threatened to renew violence along the Strip.
On Sunday, Hamas, which governs Gaza, urged Israel to allow some $8 million in Qatari funds to enter the enclave so that they can be used to pay the salaries of group officials. Islamic Jihad, in turn, has repeatedly threatened Tel Aviv over the treatment of Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons following the escape of six people last month.
