IDF confirms it has closed areas, roads around Gaza

The IDF confirms that troops have shut down a number of areas and roadways around the Gaza border in light of the heightened tensions following a rocket attack from the Strip that hit a home in central Israel, injuring seven people.

“In light of a security assessment and as part of efforts to improve preparedness, the Gaza Division decided to close off some areas and roads near the [Gaza] security fence. In addition, it was decided to halt farmwork in the fields adjacent to the security fence,” the army says in a statement.

“Please continue to listen to instructions given by the IDF as necessary.”
