Israel to allow Palestinian evacuees to use major Gaza highway for 3 hours

An Israeli artillery vehicle travels on a highway near the border with the Gaza Strip on November 3, 2023 in Sderot, Israel. In the fourth week of Israel's response to Hamas's Oct 7 attacks, the Israeli PM said the current war would be a long one and would amount to a "second war of independence." In the wake Hamas's attacks that left 1,400 dead and 230 kidnapped, Israel launched a sustained bombardment of the Gaza Strip and began a ground invasion to vanquish the militant group that governs the Palestinian territory.
