Defense Minister Israel Katz says there will be zero tolerance for Gazans approaching the border with Israel after dozens of Palestinians were just a few hundred meters away from troops today in northern Gaza.

“Israel’s defense policy with Gaza is clear: Anyone who enters the buffer zone puts their life at risk,” Katz says in a statement.

“There will be zero tolerance for anyone who poses a threat to IDF troops or the [border] fence and communities. We will not return to the reality of October 7,” he adds.
