Palestinians were seen trudging back to southern Gaza, as Israel pulled all of its ground troops out of southern Gaza. Israel’s army cited “tactical reasons”, for their sudden withdrawal. The move, however, has raised questions about the future direction of the war. Meanwhile, Hamas and Israeli delegations travelled to Egypt for a new round of ceasefire talks, which the former informed led to no progress.
An Israeli army official who spoke to the Israel daily Haaretz said: “There’s no need for us to remain in Khan Younis. The 98th Division dismantled Hamas’s Khan Younis brigades and killed thousands of its members. We did everything we could there.”
Displaced Palestinians from the city may now be able to return to their homes, they said.
