The Israeli military has issued a statement warning Palestinians returning home against approaching Israeli soldiers and cooperating "with any terrorist entity".

General Giora Eiland, the author of the "General's Plan", has said that Israel has failed to achieve its stated war goals and is now "at the mercy of Hamas".
In September 2024, the retired army general outlined a plan calling for emptying northern Gaza of its residents and turning it into a closed military zone.
In an interview with Israeli Army Radio, Eiland said that Israel's opening of the Netzarim corridor meant that it had lost leverage over Hamas.
The Israeli military is conducting an ongoing raid of Tulkarm city and its camp in the northern occupied West Bank.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, two people were killed and three wounded when Israeli forces targeted a vehicle near the camp. Local sources who spoke to Al Jazeera said that the people killed in the attack were members of Hamas.
The same sources reported that Israeli forces were stationed in several of the city's neighbourhoods, and that they had sent for reinforceents.
In a statement in response to the attack, Hamas said it was a “desperate attempt to eliminate the resistance”, and that the “the timing of the assassination, which coincided with the occupation’s intensification of its war in the West Bank, confirms that it will not bring it security and stability”.
Wafa news agency is reporting, citing local sources, that Israeli military vehicles stormed the city this afternoon and were stationed in front of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and the Israa Specialized Hospital.
Israeli forces then stopped and searched ambulance crews, obstructing their work.

Israel has received a list from Hamas naming the 24 Israeli captives who are still alive, out of the 33 scheduled for release, Reuters is reporting citing an unnamed Hamas official.
As part of the ceasefire's six week-long first phase, Israeli captives are being exchanged for Palestinian prisoners every Saturday.
The families of Israeli captives on Saturday watched in rapture as Hamas released four female soldiers, in scenes broadcast live on television.
The families of Liri Albag, Daniella Gilboa, Karina Ariev and Naama Levy, celebrated with joy and relief at the sight of their daughters alive.
"The feeling of relief and happiness wraps us after 477 long and unbearable days of nerve-wracking waiting," Albag's family said in a statement a few hours later.
"We finally got to see Liri, hug her and know that she is with us, in her safe place, surrounded by the love of the family."
However, the scenes of the release were also met with indignation and criticism by many in Israel.

The Palestinian population must not be expelled from Gaza, the German foreign ministry said after US President Donald Trump said Jordan and Egypt should take in Palestinians.
Asked for a reaction to Trump's comments, a foreign ministry spokesperson said Berlin shared the view of "the European Union, our Arab partners, the United Nations ... that the Palestinian population must not be expelled from Gaza and Gaza must not be permanently occupied or recolonised by Israel."
Jordan is already home to several million Palestinians, while tens of thousands live in Egypt. Both countries and other Arab nations reject the idea of Palestinians being pushed out of Gaza.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she does not believe Donald Trump has a "defined plan" to move Palestinians out of Gaza, but said she welcomed a debate on the territory's reconstruction.
The US president said on Saturday that he wanted Jordan and Egypt to take people from Gaza, suggesting "we just clean out that whole thing".
"Trump is right when he says that the reconstruction of Gaza is obviously one of the main challenges we face, and that to succeed, however, a great deal of involvement from the international community is needed," she told reporters during a visit to Saudi Arabia.
"As for the issue of refugees, I don't think, here again, that we are faced with a defined plan. I think we are rather faced with discussions with regional actors, who certainly need to be involved in this.”

The woman described the north as “the heart and soul, the land we lost”.
“For those who didn’t want us to return, here we are on our way home. We will stand our ground and rebuild. We want life to return to the way it was,” Kabir Rusoomi told MEE correspondent Ahmed Aziz.
She added that she hopes to live a long life to pass down “the love for the land and for our nation”.
Rusoomi also recounted the loved ones she lost during Israel’s war on Gaza, which has left over 47,000 Palestinians dead.
The Israeli army opened the Netzarim corridor for Palestinians crossing into the north on Monday morning, with soldiers pledging to return as they withdrew from the area, according to the Israeli Channel 12.
The corridor, a 6km stretch of land that divides northern and southern Gaza, was established by Israel’s military during the current war and stretches from the Israeli boundary with Gaza City to the Mediterranean Sea.
The last of the soldiers who withdrew from the corridor said: "Here we are, on the ruins of the Netzarim settlement. We are the last military force to leave the settlement here - for the second time, the heart aches. We will return here."
This is referring to the Netzarim settlement, one of the illegal Israeli settlements that existed in the Gaza Strip before the Israeli withdrawal in 2005.
