Hundreds of people approached the Gaza Strip border fence during an event organized by the 'Nachala' movement, which promotes settlement in the Strip. Several activists crossed into Gaza in vehicles. An IDF spokesperson stated that the Israelis who crossed into the Strip were returned to Israeli territory by forces dispatched to the scene. "Approaching the barrier area and entering it is dangerous and disrupts the activities of security forces in the area. The IDF condemns any activity that diverts the attention of commanders and fighters from defense and counter-terrorism missions," the statement said.
