'Thousands' leave northern Gaza as civilian corridor opens, Israel says
Israeli officials again opened on Tuesday a corridor for civilian evacuations from northern Gaza into the south, the Israel Defense Forces said, marking the second day the IDF has appealed to Gaza residents to use the corridor.
An IDF spokesperson posted to social media in Arabic, saying the southbound evacuation corridor on the major Gaza street of Salah-El-Deen was expected to be open between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. local time.
"Thousands" of people were passing through the corridor midday on Tuesday, Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories said in another a statement posted to social media.
Israeli officials released a short video Tuesday showing a line of people moving along a street, which they said was filmed earlier in the day.
Some of the people in the footage appeared to be waving white flags as they walked. A tank stood in the foreground and a row of partially destroyed buildings lined the road behind them.
