IDF troops opened fire on a group of dozens of Palestinians who approached the border in the northern Gaza Strip, near the community of Nahal Oz, earlier today, the military says.

The suspects reached just a few hundred meters from troops, who are stationed in a buffer zone. The IDF says the forces moved forward with military vehicles and fired warning shots.

As a result, several of the suspects were hit, and the group withdrew, the military says.
