IDF reminds Gaza residents of safety precautions while temporary pause in war continues

The Israel Defense Forces issued a "daily message" to residents of Gaza with safety instructions amid a temporary cease-fire deal that includes swapping Hamas hostages for Palestinians detained in Israel.

The IDF reminded Palestinians to not move to northern Gaza as it is still considered a war zone, adding that it is OK to move south of Wadi Gaza via the Salah al-Din Road.

"It is forbidden to approach within a kilometer of the border," the IDF wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Entry into the sea is prohibited."

The IDF said the instructions have been issued for the safety of civilians.
