The Israeli army has announced the opening of a new corridor in southern Gaza that splits the Khan Younis area, according to Al Jazeera.

The so-called Magen Oz corridor runs between eastern and western Khan Younis, stretching about 15km, the military said, adding that it will apply pressure on Hamas and help dismantle the group’s brigade operating in what remains of the southern city.

In an illustration published by the Israeli army, the new corridor connects to the Morag corridor which was established in April to separate Khan Younis from Rafah.
