Israel launches ‘limited ground operation’ to retake Netzarim corridor in Gaza

UN calls for investigation after staff member among 20 people reportedly killed in renewed airstrikes

Israeli forces have launched a “limited ground operation” to retake the Netzarim corridor, a newly widened road protected by fortified bunkers that divides Gaza and is seen as essential to controlling the devastated Palestinian territory.

The move is a significant escalation of Israel’s new offensive in Gaza and came less than 36 hours after a massive wave of airstrikes that killed more than 400, including 183 children and 94 women, the health ministry there said.
