IDF Declares Border Areas Closed Ahead of Pro-Settlement March Near Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces has designated parts of the Gaza border as a closed military zone ahead of a large right-wing demonstration calling for the reestablishment of Israeli communities in Gaza. The restrictions are set to run from Sunday morning to Monday morning, with limits on access for non-authorized people, as organizers have signaled intentions that Israel says could involve illegal entry.

IDF Declares Border Areas Closed Ahead of Pro-Settlement March Near Gaza

The IDF has declared the Gaza periphery a closed military zone ahead of a pro-settlement demonstration planned for Sunday. The order, effective from 8 a.m. to 8 a.m. Monday, restricts access to the border area around routes and junctions spanning from Yad Mordechai to Shaar Hanegev and toward Kerem Shalom. Authorities say the closure is meant to prevent marchers from attempting to enter Gaza illegally. The “March of Thousands,” organized by the Nahala movement, is expected to draw thousands and include multiple ministers and Knesset members.
