After withdrawing from the entire Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip yesterday, the IDF again warns Palestinians against approaching troops and entering prohibited areas.

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, publishes a map of the current military deployment in a buffer zone inside Gaza and along the Philadelphi Corridor on the border with Egypt.

Palestinian civilians are able to return to the northern Gaza Strip through the Netzarim Corridor on foot via the Salah a-Din and coastal roads without inspection. Vehicular traffic is only permitted on the Salah a-Din road, where a private company is inspecting Palestinian cars heading north.

“We note that the movement of gunmen or the transfer of weapons through these routes to the northern Gaza Strip is strictly prohibited and will be considered a breach of the agreement,” Adraee says.

“We call on you to refrain from cooperating with any terror group seeking to exploit you in order to transfer weapons or prohibited materials,” he says.

Adraee warns Palestinians against approaching the Philadelphi Corridor and the buffer zone along the entire border with the Strip, where troops are currently deployed. He also warns fishermen, swimmers, and divers not to enter the sea along the entire Strip.
