Nachala Activists Establish Gaza-Border Site and Seek Approval to Relocate Into Gaza

More than 700 people, including dozens of families, established a site near the Gaza border opposite Gaza City overnight, placing structures and basic infrastructure. The Nachala movement calls the site Gaza Pioneers and is asking the government to authorize moving it into northern Gaza as part of its campaign for Jewish communities in the Strip. Separately, the IDF blocked roads near Nahal Oz and Kfar Aza on Friday morning over concerns that civilians would enter Gaza to establish outposts. Police had removed civilians gathered in Shimchoni Forest overnight.
