Following the open-ended cease-fire reached in late August 2014, which concluded the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Israel made several specific concessions in exchange for the cessation of rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. These measures included:
- Loosening restrictions on goods: Israel agreed to allow a greater volume of goods to enter the Gaza Strip.12
- Expanding the fishing zone: The permitted fishing zone off the coast of the Gaza Strip was expanded from 3 miles to 6 miles (approximately 5 to 10 km).12
- Reducing the security buffer: Israel agreed to enforce a narrower security buffer in the areas adjacent to the Israeli border.12
These actions were part of the terms established to stabilize the region following the intense hostilities of that summer.12
