ai generated text

The Philadelphi Corridor is a 100-meter wide and 14-kilometer long strip of land along the Gaza Strip-Egypt border, established by Israel in 2005 to prevent smuggling and infiltration. Following Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip, the Philadelphi Accord was signed with Egypt, authorizing Egypt to deploy 750 border guards to patrol the border on its side. The accord aimed to prevent the movement of illegal materials and people between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, and established a demilitarized zone near the border. The Egyptian Border Guard Force was created to patrol the border, with specific equipment and weaponry restrictions, and was intended to enhance Egypt's capability to fight smuggling.learn more on wikipedia
