Both sides conducted day and night patrols. The 10th Light Horse Regiment's Scouts led a reconnaissance by the 3rd Light Horse Brigade east of the Wadi el Ghuzze, when Ottoman artillery was very active during a skirmish with an Ottoman cavalry patrol, some miles beyond the EEF front line.
Joseph W. McPherson, an officer in the Egyptian Camel Transport Corps was invited by two Royal Engineer messmates to accompany them on a reconnaissance during the afternoon of Good Friday, 6 April 1917. He subsequently wrote, "we saw parties of Turks and mapped down new trenches they had made, got sniped at incidentally, and had to travel a good bit of the way on our bellies." Aerial reconnaissance was carried out by both sides. Aerial photographs enabled a new partly contoured map on the 1/40,000 scale to be printed before the Second Battle of Gaza. However, each side was keen to monitor the others' preparations and the air became disputed territory. Newly arrived German aircraft attacked EEF reconnaissance aircraft during which several duels were fought, none being decisive. On 6 April five German aircraft approaching Rafa were intercepted by two AFC Martinsyde aircraft, one of which was forced to land and was destroyed on the ground, while the other went for reinforcements. Three Martinsydes arrived to attack the German formation. Aerial bombing was also strenuously continued by both sides, and while this aerial fight was taking place, hostile aircraft bombed Bir el Mazar.

⇒両国（英土）軍とも、昼夜分かたずパトロールを実施した。第10軽騎馬連隊の偵察隊は、第3軽騎馬旅団によるワジ・エル・グゼーの東の斥候調査を主導した。時あたかもオスマントルコ軍砲兵隊が、小競合い衝突の間じゅう、EEF最前線を越えた数マイル先までオスマントルコ軍騎兵パトロール隊の活動を鋭意活発化させていたときであった。

⇒エジプト・ラクダ輸送隊の士官ジョセフW.マクファーソンは、2人の王立工兵隊から1917年4月６日の聖金曜日に会食して、午後の斥候調査に同行しようと誘われた。その後に彼はこう書いた。「我々は、トルコ軍の数個集団を見て、彼らが造った新しい塹壕の地図を作って、不意に狙撃されて、相当長い間腹這いのような旅をしなければなりませんでした」と。空中斥候調査が両国軍によって行われた。航空写真は、1/40,000の縮尺で部分的に新しい等高線を記した地図が、第2回「ガザの戦い」の前に印刷することが可能となった。

⇒しかし、両国軍のそれぞれが、相手の準備を監視したがったので、空中が紛争地区と化した。新しく到着したドイツの航空機が、EEFの調査航空機を攻撃して、数回の対決が行われたが、何も決着しなかった。4月6日に、ラファに接近しつつあった5機のドイツ軍航空機が2機のAFC（オーストラリア空軍）のマーティンサイド機に迎撃され、そのうちの1機が着陸を強制されて、地上で破壊された。他の機は（自軍の）強化陣地へ向かった。3機のマーティンサイド機が、ドイツ軍の編成隊を攻撃するために到着した。両国軍によって空爆も精力的に続けられて、この空中決戦が行われる間、敵機がビル・エル・マザールを空爆した。
