The Israeli army bans Palestinians in the Gaza Strip from entering the 300-meter area adjacent to its border with the enclave and shoots or arrests anyone who breaches it.
In recent months, the Israeli army has made several announcements of arresting Palestinians along its border with Gaza for allegedly attempting to sneak into its territory.
More than 2 million Palestinians live in Gaza under poor living conditions as a result of the Israeli blockade imposed on the territory since 2007.
