Israeli forces killed an armed man during violent clashes in the Gaza Strip

Despite the cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, there have been many violent clashes involving armed or masked Palestinians, an Israeli military spokesman said on Wednesday.

In one such case, a man was killed, whom the soldiers identified as a Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighter.

In other incidents, soldiers fired shots to warn masked suspects from a distance, the spokesman said.

The army said it was willing to abide by the ceasefire agreements while taking all necessary measures to protect its soldiers from potential threats. It called on the Palestinian people to break away from the military.

In accordance with the agreed terms, the Israeli army on Wednesday withdrew its vehicles from Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip. The army released pictures showing a convoy of tanks coming out of the area near the border fence.
