The Netzarim Corridor[1] is an area in the Gaza Strip that has served as an Israeli zone of military occupation during the Gaza war.[2] The corridor, which splits the Gaza Strip down the middle, is located just south of Gaza City and stretches from the Gaza–Israel border to the Mediterranean Sea.[3]

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) considers this corridor to be essential for carrying out raids in northern and central Gaza, as well as securely channeling aid into the region.[4] The corridor was run by IDF divisions that rotated in and out of it, particularly the 99th Division and 252nd Division.[5]

Following a ceasefire with Hamas that came into effect on 19 January 2025, Israel withdrew from parts of the Netzarim Corridor on 27 January.[6][7] Israel completely withdrew its troops from the corridor on 9 February 2025.[8] Large crowds of displaced Gazans were then able to cross through and return to their homes in the northern Gaza Strip.[9][10] However, the IDF returned to the Corridor on 19 March after the ceasefire broke down.[11]
