The IDF has declared a closed military zone to prevent a planned march to Gaza that was to include Israeli ministers, according to reports. The decision aims to block the march, which organizers planned to enter the Gaza Strip.
In its latest update, The Zioneer reports that the IDF has declared a closed military zone to block a planned march to Gaza that includes Israeli ministers. The order, effective from 08:00 Sunday to 08:00 Monday, covers the western Negev from the Yad Mordechai junction west of Route 34 to the Sha'ar HaNegev junction, and west of Route 232 to Kerem Shalom. The military said it is deployed in the area and emphasized that entering the zone is a criminal offense, with residents and workers permitted to enter their communities.
At 06:03 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a series of updates on the story. Initial reports stated that the IDF had declared a closed military zone in the western Negev due to a planned protest march that intends to illegally enter the Gaza Strip. Subsequent versions provided specific boundaries and noted that the order was signed by Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor. Later reports identified the march as organized by the Nachala movement, with ministers and MKs expected to join, and the military stated it was aware of intentions to breach the security fence and enter the Strip.
As The Zioneer reported, the IDF has deployed forces in the region and held a situation assessment. The restricted area is part of the military's preparation to prevent a mass breach of the border. The march is reportedly planned to include members of the Israeli government, though the exact list of participants has not been officially confirmed.
The specific identities of the ministers involved remain unverified, and the precise timing of the march has not been disclosed. The Zioneer will continue to monitor the situation as developments unfold.
