The Israeli occupation forces released a new statement on Saturday regarding the implementation of a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, scheduled to take effect on Sunday, January 19, at 8:30 a.m.

The statement confirmed that Israeli forces would remain stationed in specific areas of the Gaza Strip, warning residents to avoid approaching these zones.

The occupation also issued a direct threat to Gaza residents, emphasizing the dangers of approaching military forces, particularly in the Netzarim axis.

In the southern Gaza Strip, residents were warned against entering areas near the Rafah crossing, the Philadelphi Axis, and other locations where Israeli forces are stationed.

“Approaching Israeli territory and the buffer zone is strictly prohibited and extremely dangerous,” the statement added.

Furthermore, the occupation warned of significant risks to fishing, swimming, and diving in the maritime area along the Gaza Strip's coast.

According to Axios, 24 Israeli ministers voted in favor of the deal, while 8 others opposed it.

The news comes on the 470th day of the war on Gaza and after intense rounds of negotiations that led to a multiphase deal.
