Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant was not informed beforehand about the military’s plans for a “tactical pause” along a humanitarian corridor in Rafah and did not give his approval, Al Jazeera according to Israel’s Army Radio.

The pause, to take place every day from 8:00am to 7:00pm, will only apply to humanitarian aid transport travelling on the corridor, with Israel’s military operations continuing uninterrupted in Rafah, according to the military.

N12 News tweeted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had also not been informed.
