Following the announcement of the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers from the southern city of Khan Younis, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have established a strategic corridor known as the Netzarim Corridor in the Gaza Strip. This corridor, which splits the Gaza Strip in two, spans approximately 6.5 kilometers wide and intersects the main north-south road, Salaheddin Street, creating a crucial central junction.
Constructed by the IDF at the beginning of 2024, the Netzarim Corridor serves as a vital route for troop movement and logistical operations. It extends from the Gaza-Israeli border area to the Mediterranean coast, providing the IDF with an operational foothold in the region.
