Israeli troops deploy to a new security corridor across southern Gaza

Israel says troops have deployed to a newly established security corridor across southern Gaza. Pressure on the Hamas militant group has increased again, weeks into the renewed war. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier announced the new Morag Corridor and suggested it would cut off the southern city of Rafah from the rest of Gaza. Israel had ordered Rafah evacuated. It was not immediately clear Saturday how many troops had deployed or where exactly the corridor was located. The announcement came shortly after a White House official confirmed a new meeting between Netanyahu and President Donald Trump for Monday.
