The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced a 'tactical pause' in military operations in certain southern areas of Gaza starting from June 16, allowing for more humanitarian aid to enter the region and reduce the local humanitarian crisis. This pause involves 11 hours of ceasefire daily, facilitating the transportation of aid through the Kerem Shalom crossing and the Salah al-Din Road. The move comes amid international pressure, negotiations between Israel and Egypt, and US calls to expand Gaza humanitarian assistance, seen as a response to global pressure during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. Israel has been conducting an 8-month military campaign against Hamas in Gaza, escalating the already severe humanitarian crisis in the region.
