Tanks being moved from Gaza back up north
Several vehicles carrying IDF tanks are making their way up north from the Gaza Strip, Channel 10 reports.
Police say the vehicles will move mainly on Highway 6 and will be escorted by Military Police officers. Drivers are urged to avoid parking on the side of the road and to exercise caution.
“We are talking about heavy vehicles, whose width exceeds the width of the roads and sometimes, when going uphill, even if it is a moderate hill, their speed decreases significantly,” a police spokesman says. “The major speed differences between tank carriers and other vehicles, combined with their deviation from lanes, create a real danger to human life,” he adds.
