The return of the Palestinians north of the Gaza Strip came after Qatar announced on Sunday that an agreement was reached to free an Israeli civil hostage, relieving the first major crisis of ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Islamite movement Hamas.
Hundreds of Palestinians began, on Monday, to travel to the north of the Gaza Strip, after the Israelite army announced that allows the return from 07:00 (05:00 in Lisbon).
Images released by Palestinian news agency Wafa show hundreds of people walking with their belongings along Rashid Road, which crosses the north to south enclave, next to the coast.
The movement began around the time established by Israel’s defense forces (IDF).
IDF spokesman, Avichay Adraee, released on social network X, this dawn, other instructions such as prohibition to Palestinians to “go towards Israelite territory” or “transport militants or weapons”.
Adraee said the Salah al Din road (parallel to the rashid, but to the east, near the Israeli border) will be open to vehicle traffic from 09:00 (07:00 in Lisbon).

Hamas will free three more Israeli hostages on Thursday
In a statement, the Qatar – mediator of the conflict – said that Hamas will deliver the hostage Arbel Yehoud, along with two other hostages before Friday.
Under the ceasefire agreement, Israel should start on Saturday to allow Palestinians to return to their homes in northern Gaza.
