Israel announces ‘tactical pause’ in Gaza
The Israeli military announced Saturday a “tactical pause” in parts of the Gaza Strip to facilitate humanitarian aid, following growing international pressure over widespread hunger in the enclave.
According to the Associated Press, the pause will last 10 hours a day for one week — from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. — and aims to allow more aid to enter from Egypt and Jordan. Aid airdrops have also begun in Gaza’s demilitarized zones.
