Israeli forces pushed deeper into the Gaza Strip yesterday, seizing parts of a major corridor that divides it, in the most significant ground operation since the collapse of a fragile truce with Hamas.
Soldiers began “targeted ground activities” along the road, known as the Netzarim Corridor, to create a “partial buffer zone” in the territory between the north and south, the military said.
The operation followed wide-scale aerial bombardment in Gaza that began on Tuesday. Hamas has not responded militarily.
In Jerusalem, thousands of Israeli protesters called for a renewed cease-fire.
