The Israeli army continued to blow up homes and residential buildings around the Netzarim and Philadelphi corridors in the Gaza Strip, according to local sources.

Several buildings were detonated around the Netzarim Corridor in the Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City and Al-Zahra town south of the city, one source told Anadolu.

The Israeli army also destroyed several residential buildings near the Philadelphi Corridor in Rafah in southern Gaza near the border with Egypt, another local source said.

According to the sources, the home detonations aim to widen Israeli military presence in the area and consolidate Israeli control around the two axes.
