The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that an Israeli Air Force aircraft fired on suspicious vehicles in central Gaza on Monday. The vehicles were moving northward on an unauthorized route, violating the agreed-upon ceasefire protocol.
IDF Response to Ceasefire Violation
The IDF confirmed that the strike was not intended to cause harm, but rather to deter the vehicles from approaching Israeli forces. The military emphasized that the vehicles did not pass through the designated checkpoints, making their movement a potential security risk.
IDF Warns Gaza Residents
Reiterating security instructions, the IDF urged Gaza residents to:
- Follow approved movement routes
- Avoid unauthorized travel in restricted areas
- Pass through designated inspection checkpoints
The military stressed that adherence to these measures is crucial for maintaining stability under the ongoing ceasefire agreement.
Security Concerns Amid Ceasefire
Despite the temporary truce, tensions remain high, with the IDF closely monitoring potential threats. Israeli authorities have repeatedly warned that any violations of ceasefire terms could lead to military responses.
