🇮🇱🇵🇸Following the resumption of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, the IDF began conducting limited operations in the central and southern parts of the Strip, aimed, according to an official statement, at "expanding the buffer zone."

In particular, units of the 252nd Armored Division "Sinai" entered the area of ​​the Netzarim corridor , abandoned by the Israeli military at the end of January, and occupied about half of it, right up to the main road of the Strip - the Salah ad-Din road .

After the withdrawal of IDF units, control over the corridor was transferred to the American PMC UG Solutions. It is unknown whether the contract is still in place and whether the checkpoints continue to operate in connection with the introduction of troops.

The IDF also officially announced that the 1st Golani Infantry Brigade has been deployed on the southern border with the Strip, preparing for future operations in the Strip.

At the same time, Defense Minister Israel Katz calls on Hamas to hand over the hostages, threatening to once again launch a full-scale operation in the Strip.

"The air strikes on Hamas terrorists were just the first step. What comes next will be much more difficult, and you will pay the full price. Take the advice of the President of the United States. Return the hostages and get Hamas out, and other options will open up for you, including going to other places in the world to those who want it. The alternative is total annihilation."
