(Ynet News) Emily Schrader - On Nov. 16, I joined IDF forces in northern Gaza to witness the humanitarian corridor that tens of thousands of Palestinians have safely used to flee the areas of intensive fighting. The humanitarian corridor is protected on all sides by IDF combat soldiers - protecting the Palestinian civilians seeking refuge. Additionally, as of Nov. 16, the IDF has overseen the transfer of 1,373 trucks of humanitarian aid to Gaza since the start of the war and is in the process of planning field hospitals in southern Gaza. Capt. Natan, an IDF reserve officer, said, "We know that if we see a school and if we see a hospital, that's actually the best way to find [terror sites]. Hamas terrorists use civilians as human shields and they use schools to put very big launching sites and tunnels nearby, all the time. We see it all over Gaza." "Our mission is to destroy the Hamas infrastructure [not the people].... When we came a day after the massacre and saw the destroyed houses, and we saw what they did to little children and to entire families...I have four kids in my house....We are here to ensure that this will never happen again."
