IDF says it opened fire on suspects who ‘posed threat’ to troops in Rafah
2025-01-21
[IsraelTimes] Earlier today, the IDF says it opened fire on Palestinian suspects who “posed a threat” to troops stationed in southern Gaza’s Rafah.

Israeli forces are still deployed inside the Gaza Strip, during the ceasefire with Hamas. The IDF has issued several warnings to Palestinians not to approach areas where troops are positioned.

According to the military, the suspects who approached troops in Rafah were shot and hit. “Further details are under review,” the IDF says.

Graphic footage circulating on social media today purports to show a Palestinian man coming under fire while trying to drag the body of a teenager who was also shot. It is unclear if the footage, reportedly from Rafah, is of the same incident reported by the IDF.

“The IDF is acting in accordance with the ceasefire agreement, and is maintaining a security zone in accordance with the agreement,” the military says.
