What was once Gaza’s busiest thoroughfare has become a terrifying escape route for Palestinian civilians running for their lives from heavy combat. After Israel announced it was opening a safe passage, those fleeing said they raised their hands or waved white flags to get past Israeli tanks deployed along stretches of the north-south highway.

Israel’s military said that at one point, troops came under Hamas fire when trying to open the road temporarily for civilians. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed the army’s claims in an interview with ABC News broadcast late Monday. “Last night was very difficult,” said Amal, a young woman who declined to give her family name due to safety concerns. She was part of a group of 17 people making the journey Monday. She said tanks fired near the group. Soldiers then ordered everyone to raise their hands and white flags before being allowed to pass.
