Israel's military said Wednesday it has seized control of the entire length of Gaza's border with Egypt, without elaborating. Capturing the strategic Philadelphi corridor signals that Israel has deepened its offensive in southern Gaza.
Israel's military said Wednesday it seized control of a strategic corridor along Gaza's border with Egypt to cut off smuggling tunnels as it tries to destroy the militant Hamas group in a war that is now in its eighth month.
The capture of the Philadelphi Corridor could complicate Israel’s relations with Egypt, which has previously complained about Israel’s advance toward its border.
Caught in the attacks, counterattacks, and artillery of both Russians and Ukrainians, villagers try to maintain contact and hope with family members on the other side of the border.
