The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has claimed that the roads leading to Gaza aid centers should be considered 'combat zones'. This announcement comes as dozens of humanitarian sites were forced to shut down for the day, following violent clashes between demonstrators and Israeli security forces.
The Israeli military issued an order designating the access roads to the border area as 'closed military zones'. According to the statement, the move is aimed at preventing further escalation of tensions and ensuring the safety of both soldiers and civilians.

In response to the declaration, an IDF spokesperson said:
"The roads leading to the Gaza Strip have witnessed increasing violence and terrorism against IDF soldiers.
This decision is intended to prevent such attacks and provide security for Israeli and Palestinian civilians who travel along these routes."
This recent development raises concerns about the accessibility of humanitarian aid in the region, especially during a critical time when many Gaza residents are still recovering from the war.
