IP - In their latest update, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP), which are both based in the US, said the under-construction road would reportedly “control the flow of Gazans from north to south” and “protect the area”.

Iran Press/ West Asia: A journalist embedded with Israeli forces reported that Israel’s military was “preparing for a very long stay” in Gaza and the road dissecting the coastal enclave was part of that long-term planning by Israel, the latest ISW/CTP report states.

On Monday, Palestinian fighters in Gaza used rocket fire to attack Israeli forces in the north and south of Gaza, and also used “man-portable air defense systems” to target Israeli helicopters and aerial drones, the monitors said.
