Coinciding with the start of the return of displaced Palestinians to the northern Gaza Strip, today, Monday, Israel launched new threats.

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz warned that Tel Aviv will not allow a return to before October 7, 2023.

"high price"

He also stressed that the ministry will continue to strictly implement the ceasefire in the north and south of Gaza.

He also stressed in a statement that anyone who "threatens the Israeli army forces will pay a heavy price," as he put it.

"Displacement failure"

For its part, Hamas considered that "the return of the displaced to their homes proves once again the failure of the occupation to achieve its aggressive goals of displacing and breaking the will of steadfastness among the Palestinians."

It also stated in a statement that "the scenes of the crowds returning to the areas from which they were forced to flee, despite their destroyed homes, confirm the Palestinians' steadfastness in their land."

She called for intensifying the delivery of all aid and relief supplies to all areas of the Gaza Strip.

Thousands of displaced Palestinians began returning to the north after an agreement between Hamas and Israel, some of them dragging carts loaded with luggage towards the Netzarim checkpoint on Rashid Street, which runs along the Gaza coast.

This influx of crowds came after Israel prevented tens of thousands of Palestinians from returning from the south to the north through the crossing that divides the Strip into two parts, citing the failure to release prisoner Arbel Yehud, whose release it considered a priority, and Hamas’ failure to provide a list of prisoners, both living and dead.
