Satellite images verified by the BBC reveal the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have completed construction of a new road spanning across northern Gaza, from east to west. The route, named "Highway 749," aims to enhance operational capabilities and troop movement. While IDF claims it's for security purposes, experts fear it could serve as a barrier, impeding Palestinians from returning home and signaling Israel's intention to maintain control beyond current hostilities. The widened road, suitable for armored vehicles, signifies a strategic move, prompting concerns about prolonged Israeli presence in Gaza and restricted movement for Palestinians.
