The Israel Defense Forces repeats its warning to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip not to approach areas where the military will remain deployed at the start of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, set to begin at 8:30 a.m.

“We urge you not to head toward the buffer zone or IDF forces for your safety,” military spokesman Avichay Adraee says on Telegram. “At this stage, heading toward the buffer zone or moving from south to north via Gaza Valley puts you at risk. Anyone heading toward these areas endangers themselves.”
