A Palestinian suspect who approached Israeli troops in northern Gaza’s Jabalia earlier today was killed.
According to the IDF, the troops attempted to “distance” the suspect, but after he ignored the warnings, continued to approach and “posed an imminent threat,” the forces opened fire.
Palestinian media reports that one person was killed in the area.
There are Palestinian reports of three others killed by IDF fire in the past day, two in Gaza City and one in the Abasan area of Khan Younis in the Strip’s south. The IDF has not yet commented on those incidents.
The IDF says it remains deployed in Gaza “in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”
