Following the ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hamas, tens of thousands of people returned to their homes in Gaza, from which they had fled during the conflict.
According to foreign media, displaced masses of people heading towards northern Gaza are being checked for weapons and explosives.
Palestinians pass through checkpoints in a central area of the enclave, where scanners are used to check for weapons hidden in cars and vehicles.
The checks are being conducted by Egyptian contractors with the help of a private American security firm, but there have been no reports of American citizens on the ground.
Armed uniformed Egyptian security personnel are also present, with team members wearing black jackets that read "Egyptian-Qatar Committee."
As vehicles approach checkpoints, all passengers must exit the vehicle, leaving only the driver inside.
They then go to an inspection point where they are checked and scanned. Witnesses said the entire process only takes a few minutes, writes A2 CNN.
Along the roads on both sides of the checkpoint, in the Netzarim corridor, Hamas police maintain order while other units with sniffer dogs check the road for unexploded ordnance. (A2 Televizion)
