The border with Gaza

For the first time since the IDF destroyed the Islamic Jihad terror tunnel headed towards Kibbutz Kissufim, the IDF has permitted Israeli farmers to return to their agricultural fields along the Gaza border.

לראשונה מאז השמדת מנהרת הטרור של הג׳יהאד האיסלאמי – צה״ל מאפשר היום לחקלאים לעבד חלק מהאדמות הקרובות לגבול עזה. חקלאי ניר עוז החלו לזרוע חיטה @Itsik_zuarets pic.twitter.com/NjAalJrfW8

The IDF closed off the area surrounding Gaza after the attack, due to concerns of a followup attack by Hamas or Islamic Jihad along the border.

Farmers from Kibbutz Nir Oz have begun planting wheat.
