🇵🇸 🇮🇱 Netzarim Corridor update:
The IDF have begun the construction of a new base in Gaza, located opposite the planned American built pier. I’ve marked it as “2” in the image.

🔶️ The start of the clearing can be seen in planet satellite imagery shared by Jake Godin today. It was confirmed by the IDF that the 2 recently remobilized reserve brigades will replace Nahal Brigade in the Corridor, 1 of them will be stationed here to guard the pier.

🔶️ The new brigades (2nd Reserve Infantry Brigade Carmeli and 679th Reserve Armored Brigade) will likely enter the Netzarim Corridor once the ongoing operation in Central Gaza is completed. After that, Nahal and 401st Brigade (the 2 brigades currently in Gaza) will rest for Rafah.

🔶️ Central Gaza Operation Update:
The IDF have advanced a few more houses, I count 33.

🔶️ In planet imagery you can see that the majority of activity is focused on Western Al-Mughraqa, which has been 60% demolished to give additional security to the Netzarim Corridor.

⚡️ Rafah Preparation Timeline:
1. 98th Division withdraws and rests (completed)
2. Reserves are remobilized to take over the defense of the Netzarim Corridor (completed)
3. Gaza Division starts raids on uncleared pockets in North and Central Gaza (ongoing)

Next steps:
4. Evacuation of Rafah is started
5. 162nd Division withdraws and rests, is replaced with remobilized reserves
6. 99th Division is remobilized
7. IDF starts invasion of Rafah, likely before the end of May

(Oh, and there will be extensive air operations before the invasion starts)
