Israel withdraws almost all troops from southern Gaza

Israel has withdrawn almost all of its troops from southern Gaza. Only one brigade remains in Khan Younis and is tasked with securing the Netzarim corridor that divides the Gaza Strip, according to The Times of Israel.

The move came six months since Hamas launched the October 7 attacks on Israel, which left more than 1,100 people dead. It was the trigger for Israel’s ongoing military action in Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 33,000 Palestinians, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health authority.
