The ceasefire in Gaza is broadly holding, with Israeli forces inside the strip having pulled back to the so-called "yellow line."
Nonetheless, sporadic clashes between the Israel Defense Forces and Gaza militants -- plus deadly IDF airstrikes -- continue.
The remains of one deceased hostage are still thought to be in Gaza. Israeli authorities have been releasing Palestinian prisoners and the bodies of deceased Palestinians detainees in exchange for the return of hostage remains.
Two people were shot and killed by Israeli forces in Gaza on Monday in two separate incidents, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The IDF said the individuals crossed into the Israeli-controlled part of northern Gaza "posing an immediate threat" to troops.
"IDF troops in the Southern Command remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat," the IDF said in a statement.
