JERUSALEM — Israel ’s military said Wednesday it seized control of a strategic corridor along Gaza ’s border with Egypt to cut off smuggling tunnels as it tries to destroy the militant Hamas group in a war now in its eighth month.The capture of the Philadelphi Corridor could complicate Israel ’s relations with Egypt, which has complained about Israel ’s advance toward its border.
The Gaza Health Ministry said an apparent Israeli strike killed two ambulance crew members on their way to evacuate casualties in Tel al-Sultan.Earlier Wednesday, a top Israeli official said the war was likely to last through the end of the year — a grim prediction for a conflict that has killed tens of thousands, deepened Israel’s global isolation and brought the region to the brink of a wider conflagration.
