Morag Axis
✅It cuts across Gaza between the southern cities of Rafah and Khan Yunis.
✅This move effectively links the Philadelphi Route along the Egyptian border to Morag, creating a wider Israeli-controlled “security zone.”
✅The Morag corridor joins other key zones under Israeli control, including the Philadelphi and Netzarim corridors.
✅The Philadelphi Corridor refers to a narrow strip of land along Gaza’s border with Egypt that has been under Israeli control since 2024.
✅Together with expanded buffer zones, these give Israel control of over 50% of Gaza’s territory
