'I want to go home, stay there, die there'

Displaced Palestinians who have been sheltering for weeks at UN schools and hospitals in southern Gaza started leaving to return to their homes, or what is left of them, after the truce went into effect on Friday morning.

"One man said, 'I want to go home and even if it is destroyed, I want to stay there. I want to die there'," Al Jazeera Arabic reporter Wael Dahdouh told the news agency.

According to Haaretz, an Israeli military spokesperson is warning residents of Gaza not to move back into northern Gaza.
