ISRAEL AT WAR – DAY 568
Israel is considering setting up a new humanitarian zone in the southern Gaza Strip, where Palestinians would be able to enter following a security screening, Hebrew-language media reports.
The new zone would be set up in the Rafah area, south of the IDF’s new Morag Corridor, which bisects Rafah from Khan Younis and the rest of the Strip. The area is currently depopulated.
According to the Kan public broadcaster and i24news, the plan includes setting up a tent city in the area and allowing the delivery of humanitarian aid there to Palestinians. Israel has halted the entry of aid to Gaza for over a month.
The delivery of the aid would likely be carried out by a private American security firm or other international bodies, as the IDF is against tasking troops with handing out aid to Palestinians.
