Israeli Forces Open Southbound Traffic in Gaza: IDF Spokesman Urges Safety

The Israeli forces open for traffic in the southbound direction between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., writes IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee in Arabic in a message on X.

He has also published a picture of a map showing the road that will be kept open during this time. Adraee asks the civilian population to use the opportunity, for their own safety.

– If you care about yourself and your loved ones, go south according to our instructions, the message says.

Have told people to flee

The IDF has repeatedly called on people to leave the northern part of Gaza for the southern part. According to figures from the IDF, at least 700,000 Palestinian civilians have already done this.

According to figures from the UN, over 2.2 million inhabitants live in Gaza. Around 1.4 million of them are on the run from their homes, i.e. internally displaced persons.

Claims Hamas prevented the opening on Saturday

Also on Saturday, a corridor was to open. But the IDF claims that Hamas attacked Israeli soldiers who were about to open it. Hamas has not commented on the IDF’s statements on Saturday.
