The closed military zone extends from the Yad Mordechai junction, west of Highway 34, to the Sha’ar Hanegev junction, and from there west of Highway 232 to the Kerem Shalom area.

Further, it prohibits demonstrators from entering the area along the border fence.

MKs Limor Son Har-Melech (Otzma Yehudit), Almog Cohen (Otzma Yehudit), Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionist Party), and Zvi Sukkot (Religious Zionist Party) are also expected to attend.

Libi called on the organization’s supporters to come to the Yad Mordechai junction, adding: “Everyone come, because we must return home!”

Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in 2023, the Nahala movement has organized several similar marches towards the Gaza Strip, the most recent of which took place in February and in December.

Participants set out in groups toward the Black Arrow monument and other routes, carrying Israeli flags and saplings to signal support for renewed Jewish settlement as a path to security, according to the organizers.

At the time, the IDF had condemned the march and deployed both troops and Israel Police officers to prevent civilian marchers from reaching the fence and crossing the border.

In December, a group organized by the movement succeeded in crossing to Gaza, before being returned to Israel by IDF soldiers operating in the area. A second attempt was also made at a different point of the security fence between Gaza and Israel.
