IDF blocks roads leading to Gaza border after Nahala settlers attempt to build outpost overnight
- On Thursday, activists from the NAHALA SETTLEMENT MOVEMENT arrived at Simhoni Forest to establish an outpost named "Pioneers of Gaza," attempting to renew Israeli settlement near the Gaza Strip border.
- The Nahala movement claimed more than 700 people participated, including families and veterans, though Military sources disputed this, stating only about 50 people were actually present at the site.
- Israel Police dispersed the settlers on Friday, and the IDF subsequently blocked roads near Kibbutz Nahal and Kibbutz Kfar Aza, declaring the area a closed military zone to prevent activists from returning.
- Organizers stated the initiative serves as a first step toward renewing settlement inside the Gaza Strip, and the movement called on the government to repeal the Disengagement Law.
- The military remains prepared for potential attempts by activists to bypass roadblocks and reach the border fence, as demands include relocating settlement sites into the northern perimeter of the Strip.
