The IDF claims that Hamas fired mortars and anti-tank guided missiles at troops working to clear the road.
The IDF accuses Hamas of attacking troops working to open a humanitarian corridor to evacuate Palestinians from northern Gaza to the south.
Earlier today, the IDF’s Arabic-speaking spokesman, ALt. Col. Avichay Adraee announced that between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. the Salah a-Din road would be open for Palestinians to evacuate to southern Gaza.
The IDF says Hamas took advantage of the situation and fired mortars and anti-tank guided missiles at troops working to clear the road.
According to him, Hamas did it “to prevent the opening of the road for the movement of the residents of the Gaza Strip».
No soldiers were injured in the attack, the IDF says.
The IDF has already accused Hamas of trying to prevent Palestinians from evacuating northern Gaza, where the army has focused most of its airstrikes and ground offensive.
