The Israeli military announced on Sunday a “tactical pause” throughout daytime hours in parts of southern Gaza to free up a backlog of humanitarian aid deliveries destined for desperate Palestinians enduring a humanitarian crisis sparked by the war with Hamas.
The daily pause announced by the military applies to about 7.4 miles of road in the Rafah area.
However, fighting in the city of Rafah, where Israel is targeting the remaining brigades of Hamas militants, would continue, the military said.
The army said the pause would begin at 8 a.m. local time (0500 GMT) and remain in effect until 7 p.m. local time (1600 GMT).
It said the pauses would take place every day until further notice. [CBS News]
