Over the past day, the IDF says troops still deployed inside the Gaza Strip fired warning shots at several threats.
In central Gaza, the military says it identified several gatherings of dozens of suspects, “who posed a threat to troops.” In response, troops fired warning shots to disperse them.
The IDF says that contrary to reports in Palestinian media that one person was killed and some two dozen were wounded, all of its gunfire was warning shots not aimed directly at anyone.
“We emphasize that as of now, we are unaware of suspects being hit by the gunfire,” the IDF says.
“The IDF is determined to fully implement the terms of the agreement to return the hostages. The IDF is prepared for any scenario, and will continue to take all necessary actions to remove any immediate threat to IDF soldiers,” the military says.
“The IDF once again calls on Palestinian civilians to obey IDF instructions and not approach the forces deployed in the area,” it adds.
