The Netzarim Corridor was set up by the Israeli army to separate the Gaza Strip into northern and southern areas and prevent displaced Palestinians from returning home.

This comes after Israel and Hamas completed their fifth exchange on Saturday, with three Israeli captives released in return for 183 Palestinian prisoners.
