The IDF is coordinating a temporary or floating dock to get more humanitarian aid into Gaza, a spokesman has said.
In a statement, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Hamas “had been stealing humanitarian aid and stockpiling equipment and food for Ramadan”.
“In coordination with our partners in the US and US Central Command, we are coordinating a temporary floating pier to get more humanitarian aid to Gaza,” he said.
“We will continue our humanitarian efforts while we continue to dismantle Hamas military capabilities and do everything we can to bring our hostages home.”
Explained: A temporary or floating dock is used to allow boats and ships to moor up further away from the shore – generally so they can stay in deep enough water.
They’ve been used various times throughout history. Perhaps the most famous example were the floating mulberry harbours that Allied forces used during the D-Day landings.
