(JNS) The IDF said on Monday, Jan. 27 that Israeli forces had acted against several threats to troops and ceasefire violations in the Gaza Strip.
Soldiers fired warning shots to distance approaching individuals in several locations, according to the military. In one incident in northern Gaza, troops neutralized a suspicious individual who failed to withdraw after warning shots were fired.
In central Gaza, an IDF drone carried out a warning strike to deter uninspected vehicles moving northward in a restricted area in violation of the agreement.
The IDF reiterated its commitment to upholding the terms of the Jan. 19 agreement with the Hamas terrorist organization. However, it emphasized the military’s readiness for all scenarios and intent to counter any immediate threats to Israeli forces. Gaza residents were urged to heed IDF announcements and avoid approaching military forces.
On Monday, tens of thousands of Gazans crossed into the northern part of the Gaza Strip after the IDF partially withdrew from the Netzarim Corridor in the central Strip.
Under the terms of the ceasefire, Gazans were allowed to pass through the corridor on foot without undergoing security checks.
Vehicles were also allowed to return northward starting at 9 a.m., subject to inspection by an international consortium of security companies.
