According to the estimates of sources, and according to various publications in the networks and in the Arab media, Gazans who left the northern Gaza Strip and moved south plan to take advantage of the prisoner exchange deal and the temporary truce in an attempt to establish facts on the ground, and return to the northern Gaza Strip.
Gaza residents who left their homes as a result of the fighting in the northern Gaza Strip plan to make use of the temporary ceasefire they agreed to in Israel as part of the deal to release the abductees. The Gazans intend to take advantage of the daily lull in order to try to return from the south of the Strip to the north, thus neutralizing the IDF's ability to maneuver in the field, and dismantling the achievements made during the fighting.
According to the Arab publications, the Gazans who left the north plan, at least some of them, to return from the south of the Gaza Strip to the north at 1:00 p.m., during the ceasefire and the cessation of the Air Force's surveillance activities, thereby neutralizing the IDF's maneuver in the field.
According to the IDF, movement from the south of the Gaza Strip to the north is not part of the cease-fire agreement, and the IDF will not allow such a thing. According to publications, the IDF is spreading in the Gaza Strip means to disperse demonstrations and equipment for disturbances in preparation for this.
