Some civilians were seen holding white flags as they were passing in front of an Israeli tank, which, according to IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, was stationed there to secure the corridor and evacuees from Hamas attacks.

The IDF Arabic spokesperson posted images of the civilians evacuating and announced an additional humanitarian corridor, supplementing the one recently established, which will be open for Gazans wishing to relocate southward until 2pm local time.
"Use this opportunity to go south to the other side of Wadi Gaza," he said, referring to the body of water that delineates the southern and northern parts of the Palestinian territory. "Many are doing so at this time. If you care for yourselves and your loved ones, move south according to our instructions. You can be sure Hamas leaders have already taken care of their own needs."

Israel has for weeks urged Gaza civilians to leave the northern and central areas of the territory and seek refuge in the south, away from the subsequent bombing campaign and the ground war.
