They've been there for longer than four days, as far as I understand it one of the conditions of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza is that these US Private Military Contractors (PMCs) and PMCs from other nations man the checkpoints between the north and south of Gaza, and thus "inspect" the vehicles of the Palestinian people returning to the north. This was done to facilitate the withdrawal of Israeli troops from these checkpoints, a compromise that both sides reached, no IDF, but PMCs instead. And you have to return to the north through these set up checkpoints, otherwise you're not subject to the agreement. Israel already bombed one car that tried to enter the north via another route, killing a child in the process.
