The Israel Defense Forces says humanitarian pauses in the northern Gaza Strip will continue today to enable Palestinians to evacuate toward the south.

The IDF’s Arabic-language Spokesman, Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, says on X that Salah a-Din road will be open for southbound movement for a total of seven hours today, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The coastal road in northern Gaza will also be open for movement between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., in order for civilians to reach Salah a-Din.

Additionally, he says the IDF will make “tactical pauses in military activities” in the Gaza City neighborhoods of Daraj and Tuffah between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., so that Palestinians can reach the humanitarian corridor to evacuate south.
