Palestinian media report one dead and several wounded after IDF troops opened fire on Gazans approaching the Netzarim Corridor area.

One person was killed and several were wounded by Israeli fire on the Salah a-Din road, and some two dozen more were wounded on the coastal road, according to the reports.

The IDF has not yet commented on the claims.

Under the deal, Israel was to withdraw from part of the Netzarim Corridor tomorrow and allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza via the coastal road. On day 22 of the deal, Palestinians are to be allowed to return via Salah a-Din.

Israel has said it will not allow Gazans to reach the north of the Strip until Hamas “arranges” the release of civilian Arbel Yehud, who was supposed to be freed today under the terms of the deal.
