The new road starts from the Nahal Oz settlement on the Gaza Strip and extends west into the Strip to the Mediterranean Sea (Anatolia)
An Israeli channel revealed that the Israeli occupation army began constructing a paved road from the east of the Gaza Strip to its west, with the aim of separating the north of the Gaza Strip from the rest of its parts.
The private Channel 14, which is close to supporters of the Israeli right, said on Saturday evening that the Transverse Route 794 begins from the area of the Nahal Oz settlement in the Gaza Strip, and extends west into the Strip almost to the Mediterranean Sea, and it cuts the Strip’s ties.
She reported that dozens of machines, trucks, and engineering equipment, belonging to the Army Engineering Corps, are currently building stone factories and crushing them to build this road.
The commander of the 601st Battalion of the Combat Engineering Corps, Lieutenant Colonel Shimon Orkabi, told the channel, “We are now within the scope of the Netzarim Road (a former Israeli settlement in the Gaza Strip), which creates a barrier between the north of the Strip and the central and southern region to protect the area and penetrate into areas where the enemy is present.” Preventing movement between north and south and controlling it precisely.”
The occupation forces are destroying all the homes to the right and left of the new road, as shown in a video broadcast by the Israeli channel, whose correspondent said that this road “indicates that the army is undoubtedly preparing to remain in Gaza for a long time.”
Despite mounting regional and international warnings of possible catastrophic repercussions, the Israeli army is preparing to invade Rafah, the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip on the border with Egypt, where there are at least 1.4 million Palestinians, including 1.3 million displaced persons whom Israel pushed from the north and center of the Gaza Strip to its south, claiming that it is an area Safe.
Since last October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza that, as of Sunday, left 28,985 martyrs and 68,883 injured, most of them children and women, in addition to thousands missing under the rubble, according to the Palestinian authorities.
For the first time since its establishment in 1948, Israel is being tried before the International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body in the United Nations. On charges of committing genocide against the Palestinians.
