Gazan civilians were seen waving white flags as they passed through an IDF humanitarian corridor set up on Tuesday morning, in footage shared by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).
In the video, dozens of white flags were waved as Palestinians passed en masse to the southern end of the Strip after Wadi Gaza, per Israeli military instructions.
The IDF allowed the passage of Gazan civilians to the southern Strip through a humanitarian corridor open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. local time, Arabic-language military spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on Tuesday.
#عاجل أيها سكان غزة، انضموا الى الكثيرين الذين يتوجهون الى جنوب وادي غزة في هذه الساعة! أود أن أعلمكم أنه على الرغم من أن حماس تواصل المساس بالجهود الإنسانية الجارية لمصلحتكم وتستخدمكم كدروع بشرية، إلا أن جيش الدفاع الإسرائيلي سيسمح مرة أخرى اليوم بالمرور على طريق صلاح الدين… pic.twitter.com/9hxL6e8gfn

“#Urgent: Dear residents of Gaza, join the many who are heading to the southern Gaza Valley at this hour!” a post on X (formerly Twitter) said. “I would like to inform you that although Hamas continues to undermine the ongoing humanitarian efforts on your behalf and uses you as human shields, today the IDF will once again allow passage on the Salah al-Din Road.
In the announcement made on X, the spokesperson added footage of Gazans evacuating through the corridor in a video he said was taken earlier in the day.
“If you care about yourself and your loved ones, head south according to our instructions,” Adraee wrote. “Rest assured that Hamas leaders have already taken care of defending themselves.”

This is the second day that the IDF has allowed civilians to pass southward without any reported terror incidents.
Last week, the military said that Hamas took advantage of a humanitarian window of opportunity that the IDF gave to the residents of Gaza to carry out attacks with mortar fire and anti-tank missiles.
Hamas used mortars and artillery to prevent the corridor from being opened to the movement of civilians, the Israeli military said.
