The IDF’s 252nd Reserve Division has replaced the 99th Division in the Netzarim Corridor area of central Gaza.
The swap took place several days ago, according to the IDF.
The 252nd Division is operating in the corridor with two brigades and an artillery regiment.
In recent days, the IDF says reservists with the division killed dozens of terror operatives, demolished hundreds of sites belonging to terror groups, and located tunnels that are currently being investigated.
The Netzarim Corridor is built around a road south of Gaza City, enabling the IDF to carry out raids in northern and central Gaza while allowing Israel to control access to the north for Palestinians seeking to return after fleeing south. It also enables Israel to coordinate deliveries of humanitarian aid directly to northern Gaza.
The 252nd Division was previously deployed to Gaza, during the initial stages of the ground offensive
