Palestinians trying to cross to northern areas of Gaza continue to wait

A large number of Palestinian families wait on al-Rashid Street on their way to the north following the announcement that displaced Palestinians in the southern and central governorates of Gaza City will be able to move to the northern areas as of Sunday morning, January 26, 2025, near Netzarim Corridor in Gaza City.



One killed as Israel opens fire in central Gaza

One person has been confirmed killed in al-Rasheed Street as Israeli forces opened fire against Palestinians waiting to cross into northern Gaza. Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that at least other three people were injured.


Israeli shooting at Netzarim Corridor beyond comprehension

We were reporting from al-Rashid Street in central Gaza, as Palestinians were gathering in preparation for their return to northern Gaza, when the Israeli army opened fire.

What we saw is beyond comprehension and it is again another breach of the ceasefire. People were setting up their makeshift tents as they waited to receive permission to cross the Netzarim Corridor and head back to their homes.

They were expecting to be able do that today following the release of the second group of Israeli captives. Right now, the loud humming of drones is back, I can hear them overhead for the second time since this morning.

Video shows moment Israeli forces open fire on Palestinians in central Gaza

Palestinian journalists and activists have been posting videos of the moment the Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting to cross into northern Gaza, along the Netzarim Corridor. As we reported earlier, at least one person was killed and several injured.

One video posted on social media by journalist Nahed Hajjaj and verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad unit shows Palestinians running for cover as they clutch their few belongings.
