US EditionIsrael says it has opened ‘temporary’ route for residents to flee Gaza City after launching ground offensive
Israel Defense Forces opened a 48-hour evacuation corridor to facilitate civilian escape amid intensified efforts to confront 2,000 to 3,000 Hamas militants in Gaza City, officials said.
- Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, causing about 1,200 deaths, mostly civilians, and abducting 251 individuals.
- The attack took place against a backdrop of prolonged negotiation failures and a fragmented Palestinian governance, with Hamas controlling Gaza and the Palestinian Authority governing the West Bank.
- Currently, 48 captives, including two Americans aged 20 to 85, remain held in Gaza, with about 20 believed alive, while Israel plans to curb Hamas's governance and attacks.
- A recent resolution by a global group of experts on genocide has characterized Israel's conduct in Gaza as genocidal, while the Gaza Health Ministry, administered by Hamas, states that more than 65,000 Palestinians—including militants—have died.
- Experts caution that Israel might continue to exert influence over Gaza to hinder Hamas's recovery efforts, prompting uncertainty about the conflict's future direction.
