דובר צה"ל: ציר 10 בגבול מצרים ייפתח לתנועת מטיילים בסופי השבוע

הערכה

The IDF has announced a seasonal opening of Route 10 along the Egypt border for civilian hikers on weekends, with specific exceptions for two July weekends when Thursday access will be blocked. While this eases recreational access on one border, the military simultaneously warns that live-fire training zones in the south remain completely closed to the public. The decision reflects a calibrated balance between civilian leisure and ongoing security operations, with the two closed Thursdays suggesting scheduled military exercises those weeks. Travelers should verify the exact dates before planning trips.
