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media confirmed on Sunday that the Israeli forces that had entered the southern Gaza Strip in recent months have withdrawn, as more than half a year has passed since the war began with "Israel" failing to achieve its stated objectives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

The withdrawal also comes as Egypt prepares itself to host a fresh round of talks aimed at securing a ceasefire and negotiating the prisoner-captive exchange deal. 

The figures, which are according to underreported Israeli sources, revealed that since October 7, 2023, a total of 604 soldiers and officers have been killed, with 260 casualties occurring during the ground invasion into Gaza. Additionally, 3,188 soldiers have been injured during this period.
