Israeli media confirmed on Sunday that the Israeli forces that had entered the southern Gaza Strip in recent months have withdrawn, as more than half a year has passed since the war began with "Israel" failing to achieve its stated objectives

According to reports, the 98th Division, comprising three brigades, including the 7th Armored Brigade, withdrew from Khan Younis after four months of confrontations there. This marked the first withdrawal since the commencement of the ground invasion.

The reports representing the occupation forces clarified that only one brigade, the Nahal Brigade, remained stationed in the Gaza Strip. It was emphasized that the brigade's main task was to secure the Netzarim Corridor, to impede the return of Gaza residents to the northern Strip.
