IDF extends Gaza corridor time by hour as masses flee southward
The IDF says it is extending the opening of a corridor for Gazans in the north of the enclave to move south by an extra hour due to popular demand.
The corridor had been slated to close at 2 p.m., but will now stay open until 3, spokesman Avichay Adraee says in an Arabic-language tweet.
He says the move is “in reaction to [Gazans’] sizable response” to Israel’s call for them to use the corridor to flee from the north, where fighting is heaviest.
