IDF expands hours for civilian corridor as Palestinians flee northern Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces are expanding the length of humanitarian pauses in their Gaza offensive as thousands of Palestinians flee south. Israel said it neutralized terrorist cells, took control of 11 Hamas posts, located and destroyed an underground terrorist tunnel route, struck Hamas weapons storage facilities and struck military targets inside the Al-Shati Camp over the past 24 hours.

The Israel Defense Forces said Saturday it is expanding its four-hour pauses in fighting to seven hours to allow more Palestinians to flee south.


IDF Arabic-language spokesman Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee posted on X that the Salah al-Din road will be open for civilians to travel south from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time. "Please, for your safety, join the hundreds of thousand s of residents who have moved south in recent days, including some senior media figures, as we want to protect you," Adraee said. 

Adraee said Palestinians will also be allowed to evacuate southward along a coastal road on the Gaza Strip. 

He said there will also be "tactical pauses in military activities" in the Jabalia refugee camp on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. local time so that residents can move to a humanitarian corridor and evacuate south. 

Palestine, according to Google, is about 185 miles from North to South.

For reference Florida is about 160 miles wide.

So what I want you to do is back up everything you own, bring your family and start walking.  You have seven hours to get as far away from the bombing as possible.  Again...walk.

The average human walking speed, again from Google, is about three MPH.  So if you're not to bogged down with things you need to live/survive and everyone in your family is healthy and walked at the same speed and you don't stop for the entire seven hours you can get around 21 miles.

Using Jacksonville as an example, which is not on the coast so you have a little head start, this is how far you would get.


Are you far enough away from the fighting and bombing?  Who knows.  But you had seven hours!  

Now you DO get seven hours PER DAY.  So how long would it take to get to the other coast and safety?

140/21 = 6.6
That is using Jacksonville as a starting point approximately 20 miles from the east coast.

You could complete the trip in one week if you never stopped during those seven hours for seven days.  And that is the least amount of time it would take.

In the meantime you never know if you made it far enough to avoid being killed in a fight, by your own people, or bombing or if they decided to bomb just a little further south that day.  Or if that's the day they didn't give you a full seven hours.

That is why so many asked for a cease-fire.  To allow the innocent people a chance to get to safety.  This compromise helps but it is not the grand gesture you seem to be making it out to be.
