The IDF says that troops identified a number of suspects who posed a threat to them, and fired warning shots toward the suspects who then retreated in response. In the central Gaza Strip, the troops identified a suspect who posed a threat to them and fired warning shots toward him. Since the suspect did not distance himself and continued to pose a threat to the troops, shots were fired in order to thwart the threat. The IDF is determined to fully maintain the terms of the agreement in order to return the hostages. The IDF is prepared for any scenario and will continue to take all necessary actions to thwart any immediate threat to IDF soldiers. The IDF calls the Palestinian residents to follow its instructions and avoid approaching the troops deployed in the area.
