Katz: Israel about to seize key Gaza corridor

By API User | October 1, 2025

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Wednesday that the military is completing the takeover of the Netzarim Corridor, a strategic route that effectively splits Gaza into two. “This will tighten the encirclement around Gaza City,” Katz said, adding that movement southward will now require passing through IDF inspection checkpoints. He urged civilians to leave, calling it “the last chance” for residents to evacuate. “Those who remain in Gaza will be terrorists and terror supporters,” the minister warned. The corridor’s capture is expected to isolate Hamas fighters in the north as Israeli operations continue despite awaiting the group’s response to the peace plan.
