The Netzarim Corridor[1] or Highway 749[2] is an east–west passage through the Gaza Strip built by the Israeli Defense Force to permit them access for military purposes.[3] Satellite imagery from March 6, 2024, showed that the 4-mile (6.5 km) long corridor has been completed, reaching from the Gaza-Israeli border to the Mediterranean Sea.[4]
Approximately 1.2 miles (2 km) of the road existed prior to the 2024 Israel–Hamas war, with Israel extending it to reach through the entire strip, essentially splitting the strip into northern and southern zones.[5] The IDF also repaired portions that were destroyed by armored vehicles and reinforced it with multiple lanes for various types of military vehicles.[3][4]
