The protective measure, some analysts say, appears to have been implemented after Hamas used armed drones to target Israeli soldiers and armored vehicles.
Israel continues to deploy soldiers, tanks and armored vehicles near the Gaza border in Ashkelon, Israel on Monday. Vehicles with protective screens can be seen in the background.
