Israel's military has announced the capture of the Philadelphi Corridor, a strategic area along Gaza's border with Egypt, marking a significant move in its ongoing conflict with Hamas.
This operation aims to cut off smuggling tunnels used for transporting weapons and goods, intensifying Israel's offensive in southern Gaza. The seizure of this corridor, which runs the entire length of Gaza's border with Egypt near the city of Rafah, could strain Israel's relations with Egypt, which has expressed concerns over Israel's advances toward its border.
The capture includes around 20 tunnels, some previously unknown to Israeli forces, highlighting the strategic importance of this area in the conflict.
