"The IDF has established a new corridor in the southern Gaza Strip, bisecting east and west Khan Younis, the military announces. The route, dubbed Magen Oz, was established in recent weeks by the 36th Division amid efforts to clear Khan Younis of terror infrastructure and operatives. The IDF says the division's 188th Armored Brigade and Golani Infantry Brigade met up recently, after completing the new corridor which splits Khan Younis. An illustration published by the IDF shows that the route connects to the Morag corridor, which separates Khan Younis from Rafah. The IDF says the Magen Oz corridor is 15 kilometers long, and is "a major part in exerting pressure on Hamas and defeating the Khan Younis Brigade." During the division's operations in Khan Younis, the IDF says troops killed dozens of operatives and destroyed Hamas infrastructure, including tunnels and caches of weapons." - Source
