The IDF Spokesperson in Arabic, Avichay Adraee, issued a statement this morning (Monday) to all residents of the Gaza Strip, stating that based on the agreement reached and after the completion of IDF preparations, pedestrian return to northern Gaza will be permitted.

Adraee emphasized in his announcement that the transfer of armed individuals or weapons through these routes to northern Gaza is strictly prohibited and will be considered a violation of the agreement:
“We ask you to refrain from cooperating with any terrorist entity seeking to exploit you for transporting combat equipment or prohibited materials.”

The statement also specified that in southern Gaza, approaching the Rafah crossing area, the Philadelphi Corridor, and any military gathering points in the region is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the maritime area adjacent to the sector remains highly dangerous for fishermen, swimmers, and divers, who are warned against entering the sea:
“It is forbidden to approach the defense forces wherever they are deployed in the Gaza Strip. Movement towards Israeli territory and approaching the buffer zone is prohibited.”

“I Don’t Know How Much Longer We Can Take That”
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the situation of the hostages released from Hamas captivity last Saturday during a conversation with reporters: “At some point, we’re going to lose our patience.”

“I don’t know how much longer we can take that,” the president stated. “I know we have a deal where we are supposed to get a “dribble” in, and keep dribbling in, but they are in really bad shape. They’ve been treated brutally, horribly.”
