In addition, riots in Lod led to damage to the electrification infrastructure of the railway line between Lod and Tel Aviv, and several fences of the light rail on Jerusalem Boulevard in Jaffa and Bat Yam were damaged, and there was an attempt to set fire to work materials in the area.

Many roads in the Gaza Envelope were blocked to traffic, including Road 4 from the Zikim junction to the south, Road 34 from the Yad Mordechai junction to the Sderot junction in both directions and Road 232 from the Mefalsim junction to the Kerem Shalom junction, in both directions.
