The displaced Palestinians are waiting for Israel to allow to return home

Thousands of displaced Palestinians were prevented from returning to their homes in the northern part of the Gaza Strip after Israel blocked the main road, accusing Hamas of breaking the terms of the fire termination transaction.

The dispute came after Hamas released four Israeli soldiers – and Israel released 200 Palestinian prisoners.

But the Israeli government said the Gazanas would not be allowed to travel north until plans were being held for the release of Israeli civil Arbel Yehud. Hamas insisted that she was alive and would be released next week.

According to the deal, Hamas had to release civilians in front of the soldiers.

On Saturday night, as the crowds gathered on the path of al-Rashid in central gas to return home, it is reported that the rifles were fired.

The Reuters News Agency, citing Hamas Health Ministry, and the Palestinian media reported that one person had been killed and some were injured.

Four rifles can be heard in a video of the incident published online. The BBC Verify has verified the location of the staff, but the BBC has failed to check the victim independently.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said the troops in central gas had fired shots after several gatherings were identified by dozens of suspects, who pose a threat to the forces. “

“Contrary to the reports that have occurred in recent hours, the entire shooting in the area has been carried out for the purpose of distance and is not directed at harm. We emphasize that at this stage it is not known as the result of the shooting.”

Earlier on Saturday, Mohammed Emad al-Din was one of the thousands who were waiting to return home in North Gaza.

“I know my house can be destroyed, but I’ll pass a tent over my remains. I just want to come back,” he told the BBC on the phone.

“I have to regain my job. I am a barber in gas and I try to figure out how to repair the damage to my salon and restart my business. My kids, “he added.

“All I want is to end this dispute between Hamas and Israel and to be allowed to move back into our homes north. We have not seen our loved ones for more than 15 months.”

Netzarim’s corridor is seven kilometers (4.3 miles) land, controlled by Israel, which cuts northern gas from the rest of the territory.

Lyuben Nasar arrived with her two daughters and son of a donkey stroller in the afternoon, hoping to return to her home and reunite with her husband Sultan, whom she has not seen for 11 months.

“I will stay here as close as possible to the Israeli checkpoint. For months, my daughters have been waiting for the moment to meet their father. I want to be among the first to return to Gaza,” she said.

The Qatar and Egyptian mediators are making progress in their efforts to allow hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to return to the north.

But Israeli tanks are still blocking the coastal road where people had to walk north.

The Israelis asked the intermediaries for proof of Hamas for the Hamas Jehud and it seems that Hamas has given this to the Egyptians.

Four female Israeli soldiers, taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023, were released on Saturday as part of the fire termination agreement, in which 200 Palestinian prisoners also saw.

In the meantime, many gazan is looking anxiously for any breakthrough that can allow them to return.

For many, the hope of returning to exceeds the reality of what awaits them – ruins and destruction.

Yet the dream of restoring their lives, to restore their homes and to reunite with their families, keep their spirits alive.
