An IDF drone strike on Sunday targeted a suspicious vehicle moving north from central Gaza, which violated the inspection requirement under the ceasefire agreement with the Hamas terrorist group, the military said.
An Israeli security source also confirmed to Channel 12 News earlier Palestinian reports that a vehicle was hit along al-Rashid Road, the coastal corridor through which tens of thousands of Gazans passed through last week as part of the terms of the truce.

“The IDF attacked a vehicle in the Gaza Strip that was traveling in an area where, according to the agreement, only pedestrians are allowed to pass,” the source said.
According to the Palestinian reports, one person was killed and several were injured in the attack.
Gazan vehicles crossing the Netzarim Corridor to travel between southern and northern Gaza are to use the Salah al-Din Road, the Strip’s main highway, where there is an inspection regime in effect.
“The IDF is determined to fully uphold the terms of the agreement to secure the release of the hostages, remains prepared for any scenario, and will continue taking all necessary actions to eliminate immediate threats to IDF soldiers,” the army said.
“The IDF reiterates its call for Gaza residents to follow its instructions and to avoid approaching deployed forces in the area.”
