The Israeli military has urged locals not to return to the northern Gaza Strip as the region remains a military zone. This was reported by The Times of Israel.
“The Israel Defence Forces dropped leaflets over Gaza, urging residents not to return to their homes in the Gaza Strip,” the statement said.
It is noted that the region remains a conflict zone despite a four-day cessation of hostilities.
