Israeli army’s spokesperson Avichay Adraee has issued a statement with the following points for residents in Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

  • According to the [ceasefire] agreement, [Israeli] forces will remain deployed in specific areas in the Gaza Strip.
  • Do not approach [the] forces in the area until further notice. Approaching the forces exposes you to danger.
  • Movement from the south to the north of the Gaza Strip or towards the Netzarim road remains dangerous in light of [military] activity in the area.
  • If Hamas adheres to all the details of the agreement, then starting next week, the residents of the Gaza Strip will be able to return to the northern part of the Strip, and directives will be issued in this regard.
  • In the southern Gaza Strip, it is dangerous to approach the Rafah crossing area, the Philadelphi Corridor, and all areas where forces are concentrated.
  • In the marine area along the sector, there is a great risk of fishing, swimming and diving and we warn against entering the sea in the coming days.
  • It is forbidden to approach Israeli territory and the buffer zone. Approaching the buffer zone is extremely dangerous.
