The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson tweets instructions to Gazan civilians planning to return to the Strip’s north in the morning via the Netzarim Corridor, after a late-night Israeli announcement that the long-awaited move is set to go ahead.

Residents will be allowed to return northward on foot via the Netzarim Road and Rashid Street on the coast starting at 7 a.m. on Monday, Avichay Adraee says.

Vehicles will be allowed to pass through Salah a-Din Street in the east, after a security inspection, starting at 9 a.m.

Adraee also issues a series of warning to Gazans, including not to transport terror operatives or weapons to northern Gaza; not to approach IDF positions and troops in Gaza or Israeli territory; not to near the Rafah Crossing and Philadelphi Corridor area in southern Gaza; and not to swim, dive or fish in the Mediterranean Sea in the coming days.
