📰 Israel razes corridor of destruction in central Gaza

Israel razes corridor of destruction as European observers are left gobsmacked after witnessing verified images showing that Israeli bulldozers have razed a swathe of civilian homes in central Gaza.

Creating a 1km-long corridor cutting the territory in two. Dubbed the “Morag Corridor” after a former Israeli settlement, the zone now separates the northern and southern Gaza Strip. Israelis call this corridor the corridor of hell as they protest in numbers in Tel Aviv.

The IDF says the area is being used to isolate Hamas fighters and prevent weapon transfers. Critics, including UN officials and European leaders, argue it amounts to collective punishment and creates further displacement in an already devastated region.

Labour MP and London Mayor Sadiq Khan reluctantly called this a genocide on LBC.

This military corridor marks a new phase in Gaza’s physical and political fragmentation, which are war crimes, but who will hold Israel to account?
