Israel’s plan will see the destruction of the infrastructure located in the planned buffer area of the highway that will split north and south Gaza.
The Israeli army is constructing a corridor splitting Gaza City from the south as part of a plan to implement Israeli control over the enclave.
Channel 14 aired a report on the zone called the Netzarim Corridor, detailing how Israel’s reserve Engineering Corps are building the new Highway 749 which will run through the strip south of Gaza City.
It revealed a 1-kilometer buffer zone north and south of the highway, with Unit 601 of the Engineering Corps tasked with demolishing surrounding buildings.
Among the structures likely to levelled are the Turkish Hospital, a campus of Al-Azhar University, the villages of Mughraqa and Juhor al-Dik, Nour and Shams amusement parks, as well as acres of agricultural land.
The corridor will run through the former grounds of the Netzarim Settlement, which was evacuated in 2005 as part of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s disengagement from Gaza.
According to Israeli soldiers speaking with Channel 14, the highway will give the army a clear route to enable future incursions into the territory and prevent the movement of people from south to north.

It’s like watching safari footage where a group of lions rip apart a gazelle… in slow motion. … and the tragedy unfolds for 140 days.
Who can look at the 5-eyes and the rules based order in the same way ever again? The UN security council veto will forever pollute US history while the rest of the ‘west’ tries to pretend it’s less involved.
I’m afraid we are starting to normalize collective punishment and Palestinian suffering. Humanity seems to be absent.
Yes, the imagery coming out of Gaza has been brutal and prolific.
Some of what has been documented is incomprehensible at this so called enlightened and progressive time.
And the rest of the world opposes and speaks out against it- as the US, UK, Canada, make excuse after excuse and stall for time.
Notice Israel is attacking it’s neighbours as well? Over and over. Strikes on Lebanon. Strikes into Damascus a couple of days ago…
Notice the lack of coverage of the ICJ proceedings that continue on in our free and unfettered western media?
There is a ton of meaning in Mark’s statement: “the tragedy unfolds for 140 days”.
Psalm 140: “Don’t let liars prosper here in our land.” Full text: https://prayables.com/bible-psalm-140-4417/
The grossest, most destructive, most evil liar of all is Netanyahu who seems to say “God gave this land to me and I can do anything I want with it”.
Hi Corinne
I was unaware of the deeper meaning in what Mark was stating and thank you for bringing it to my attention
‘ Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; protect me from men of violence,
who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day.
They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s; the poison of vipers is on their lips.
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from men of violence who plan to trip my feet.
And yah, Netanyahu? Over the top vile. Not to pick on him alone, he’s got some real doozies in his government as well!
