The IDF confirms carrying out a drone strike in central Gaza a short while ago, after a vehicle attempted to travel to the Strip’s north without undergoing an inspection on the Salah a-Din road, in violation of the ceasefire agreement.

The military says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, including by using a precision munition and aerial surveillance.

The vehicle had been driving on the coastal road, which is only permitted for pedestrian traffic under the deal.

On the Salah a-Din road, a private company is inspecting Palestinian cars heading north.
