IDF opens fire in Gaza Strip

The Israeli army opened fire on a group of Palestinians who, according to military sources, posed a threat to units deployed in the city of Rafah. The unidentified individuals were neutralised.

Statement from the Israeli side
According to information published by The Times of Israel, soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) remain in the Gaza Strip despite the ongoing ceasefire with the Hamas movement. Military personnel have repeatedly warned local residents against approaching areas controlled by the Israeli army.

An IDF statement said that the suspects were killed after they approached the military position. “The IDF is acting within the framework of the ceasefire agreement and ensuring security in the conflict zone,” representatives of the Israeli army clarified.

Footage and doubts on social media
Video footage has appeared on social media allegedly capturing the moment of the shooting in Rafah. The clips show one of the Palestinians coming under fire while attempting to carry the body of a teenager who was also killed. However, the authenticity of these materials and their connection to the described incident have not yet been confirmed.
