A similar incident occurred in August of last year, when approximately 40 people attempted to break into the Gaza Strip through the Erez crossing, Israeli state broadcaster KAN reported.
An indictment was filed with the Ashkelon Magistrate's Court against seven defendants - six adults and one minor - for unlawfully entering the Erez crossing area and refusing to cooperate with security forces' orders, the State Attorney's Office announced in early March.

The indictment says that on February 29, 2024, approximately 100 people gathered near the train station in Sderot and proceeded together toward the Erez crossing, which had been closed since the start of the Israel-Hamas War.
