Israeli troops complete withdrawal from Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor

By Staff Reporter
Israeli troops have withdrawn from the militarised zone that cut Gaza in half, known as the Netzarim Corridor, to the buffer zone it created on the Strip’s eastern border.
This comes after Israel and Hamas completed their fifth exchange, with three Israeli captives released for 183 Palestinian prisoners. At least seven of the detainees were transferred to hospital for treatment.
Israeli forces bombed Lebanon and Syria, killing at least six Lebanese, and are continuing raids across the occupied West Bank.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a confirmed 48,181 people and injured 111,638, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. The Government Media Office has updated the death toll to at least 61,709 people, saying thousands who were missing under the rubble are now presumed dead. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.
