Israel’s Arabic language spokesperson has issued a statement forbidding Palestinians from using Gaza’s Salah al-Din Street to travel between the north and south, announcing that the Israeli military has launched a “limited ground operation”, Al Jazeera reports.
Spokesman Avichay Adraee stated that Palestinians wishing to travel from the north to the south should only do so via al-Rashid Street along the coast and should avoid approaching Israeli soldiers for their safety.
The military operation, according to Adraee, is aimed at expanding Israel’s buffer zone along the Netzarim Corridor, which divides the Gaza Strip from north to south.
