Israel's army says it will pause daytime fighting along a route in southern Gaza to help ramp up aid

The Israeli military has announced a “tactical pause” in its offensive in the southern Gaza Strip to allow the deliveries of increased quantities of humanitarian aid. The army said Sunday the pause would begin at 0500 GMT and remain in effect until 1600 GMT. It says the pauses are to take place every day until further notice. The pause is aimed at allowing aid trucks to reach the Israel-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing, the main entry point for incoming aid, and travel safely to a nearby highway to deliver supplies to other parts of Gaza.
