The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday said it opened fire on what it described as several suspects approaching troop positions in northern Gaza, as local authorities reported six people killed.
The gunfire come a day after President Trump carried out a whirlwind trip to the region declaring an end to the war between Israel and Hamas while welcoming the return of living hostages to Israel.
The IDF said in a post on X that “several suspects were spotted” crossing a boundary established by the ceasefire and approaching IDF troops in northern Gaza, what the military called “a clear violation of the agreement.”
“After multiple attempts to distance them, the suspects refused to comply, prompting troops to open fire to remove the threat. Reports of terrorists infiltrating an IDF position are incorrect,” the IDF said in the statement. “The IDF urges Gaza residents to follow instructions and keep their distance from IDF troops.”
Gaza’s local health authority said the Israeli military killed six Palestinians in two separate incidents across the strip, Reuters reported.
The ceasefire, implemented last week, allowed for the release of the last remaining living hostages held by Hamas and the transfer of bodies also held since the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack. Israel released Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and 1,700 Gazans arrested since Oct. 7, while also allowing a scale up of humanitarian aid Gaza to alleviate a massive humanitarian crisis for nearly two million Palestinians.
Hamas has yet to transfer all of the remains of deceased hostages, saying it needs more time to retrieve and hand over the bodies. The IDF said on Tuesday that the remains of two more people were retrieved, including Israeli Guy Iluz and Bipin Joshi, a Nepalese agriculture student who was studying in Israel at the time of Hamas’s attack. The remains of at least people remain held by Hamas.
The IDF said Iluz was abducted alive and injured by Hamas after escaping the Nova music festival. Iluz, 26, died from his wounds after not receiving proper medical treatment while held captive, the IDF said.
The IDF said Joshi was abducted at the age of 23 from a shelter in Kibbutz Alumim by Hamas.
“It is assessed that he was murdered in captivity during the first months of the war,” the IDF said.
