IDF says troops in Gaza fired on several threats today during ceasefire

Over the past day, the IDF says troops still deployed inside the Gaza Strip amid the ceasefire with Hamas opened fire on several threats.

The military says troops spotted suspects approaching them in several areas of Gaza and fired warning shots.

In southern Gaza, several armed operatives were seen approaching forces and troops opened fire, the IDF says.

Another armed Palestinian was identified in a building in Rafah. The IDF says it opened fire on him as he “posed a threat” to troops.

“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.”
