"The Israeli army announced this at 12:00 local time, although according to the text of the agreement, it happened automatically earlier in the morning when Benjamin Netanyahu's government voted by a large majority to give the green light to the first phase of Donald Trump's peace plan. The troops have, in fact, already completed their partial withdrawal to a position from which they will still control half of Gaza,"
"A military spokesman told Gazans that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would allow movement from south to north via the two routes that cross the Strip, Rashid and Salahedinne, but warned them not to approach the troops, reminding them that they will remain present in various areas of Gaza. Approaching them places lives at risk, he added. In particular, the spokesman defined as extremely dangerous any attempt to traverse the areas of Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahiya, Shejaia,"
An automatic ceasefire took effect when the Israeli government authorized the first phase of a peace plan, prompting thousands of Gazans to begin returning home along the Rashid coastal highway. Israeli forces completed a partial withdrawal but retain control of roughly half of Gaza and have positioned troops in designated areas. An exchange is planned in the coming days to free the remaining 48 hostages in return for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The Israel Defense Forces warned civilians to avoid troop areas, listed specific zones as extremely dangerous, prohibited maritime activity including fishing, and emphasized that approaching soldiers risks lives. Netanyahu vowed to disarm Hamas.
