"IDF Warns Gazans: Ceasefire Begins, but War Zone Still Active"

The IDF has warned Gazans not to return to the northern Gaza Strip during the ceasefire, emphasizing that the war is not over and the area remains dangerous. Leaflets were dropped over Gaza to reinforce the message, but reports indicate that three Palestinians were shot after attempting to enter the northern Gaza Strip. The IDF completed preparations for the ceasefire, destroying tunnels and tunnel entry points in Shifa Hospital. As part of a deal brokered with the help of Qatar and the US, 13 hostages held by Hamas are scheduled to be released, while Israel is expected to release 150 Palestinian prisoners, mostly female and child prisoners convicted on terror charges.
