Details
Israeli officials say taking control of the roughly 9-mile border, known as the Philadelphia corridor, will allow Israel to prevent Hamas from rearmament by smuggling weapons through tunnels leading to Egypt.
The last time Israel controlled this corridor was in 2005, after which it transferred control of the enclave to the Palestinians.

The head of the Israeli National Security Council, Tsakhs Hanegbi, predicted that it would take another 7 months of fighting to achieve the goal of destroying the Hamsa in Gaza.
