The IDF says it fired warning shots at Palestinian suspects who approached troops and “posed a threat” in several areas in the Gaza Strip today.

In one incident in northern Gaza, the IDF says troops opened fire directly on a suspect who did not withdraw after warning shots.

Palestinian media reports that the man, who was in the Gaza City’s eastern neighborhood of Shejaiya, was killed in the incident.
