Israel's military has seized control of the Philadelphi Corridor, a strategic buffer zone along the Gaza-Egypt border. This move gives Israel control over Gaza's entire land border, aiming to cut off Hamas' weapons supply. The IDF discovered 20 tunnels used for smuggling and is working to destroy them. The move may worsen Israel's tensions with Egypt, which has protested Israel's advance towards its border. The corridor, only 100m wide in parts, is a crucial route for Gaza's supplies and economy. The development raises concerns about the impact on Gaza's already fragile situation.
