Israel on July 28 maintained a tactical pause on military operations in parts of the Gaza Strip to allow for the increased delivery of humanitarian aid.
The pause, which began on July 27, will be in effect from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time every day, until further notice. It will apply to areas where the IDF is not currently engaged in operations, including Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City, the military said.
