The Netzarim Corridor[1] is an area in the Gaza Strip that served as an Israeli zone of occupation from 2023 to 2025 during the Gaza war.[2] The corridor, which split the Gaza Strip down the middle, was located just south of Gaza City and stretched from the Gaza-Israel border to the Mediterranean Sea.[3] It was named for the site of the former Israeli settlement that it includes.[4]
The IDF considered this corridor to be essential for carrying out raids in northern and central Gaza, as well as securely channeling aid into the region.[5] The corridor was run by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) divisions that rotated in and out of it, particularly the 99th Division and 252nd Division.[6]
Following a ceasefire with Hamas that came into effect on 19 January 2025, Israel withdrew from the Netzarim Corridor on 27 January.[7][8] Large crowds of displaced Gazans have since been able to cross through and return to their homes in the northern Gaza Strip.[9][10]
