The IDF confirms carrying out a drone strike in central Gaza today, saying it was a warning after suspects in a vehicle tried to drive to the Strip’s north via an unapproved route in violation of the ceasefire.
Northbound vehicular traffic is only permitted on the Salah a-Din road, where a private company is inspecting cars heading to northern Gaza.
Separately, the IDF says it fired warning shots in several areas of Gaza today after Palestinian suspects approached areas where troops are deployed.
