The Zionist regime is withdrawing its forces completely from northern Gaza

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Informed Israeli sources told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper that the regime's army will completely withdraw from the Netzarim corridor in the coming hours, in line with the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.

 

The newspaper added that the Israeli army will thus completely withdraw from the northern Gaza Strip, and its only presence will remain in the Philadelphia corridor and the buffer zone between Gaza and its surroundings.

 

Israeli forces withdrew from their positions in the northern part of the Netzarim corridor last week, and Israel allowed Gaza refugees to return to the northern Gaza Strip on foot via the coastal road and by car via the Salah al-Din road.

 

At the time, Israeli Channel 14 reported that Israeli soldiers left the Netzarim corridor, known to Palestinians as the “Martyrs’ Crossroads,” in tears, feeling that what they had done in the Gaza Strip for more than a year had “gone to waste.”

 

The Netzarim axis is a 6-kilometer-long corridor that separates the northern Gaza Strip from its central and southern areas. The corridor was created by the Israeli army during the recent war and extends from the occupied territories’ border with Gaza City to the Mediterranean Sea.

 

According to the Times of Israel website, the Israeli army still maintains its forces in some positions east of the Salah al-Din Road, near the border with Israel.

 

According to the agreement, Israel will withdraw from the entire corridor that divides the Gaza Strip on the 21st day of the ceasefire, and will only maintain its forces in a buffer zone about one kilometer wide inside Gaza.

 

Israeli troops remain stationed in the Philadelphia Corridor, the border strip between Egypt and Gaza. Under the agreement, Israel is to complete its withdrawal from the Philadelphia Corridor by the 50th day of the ceasefire.

 

Under the Gaza deal, which ended more than 15 months of war, 33 prisoners held by Palestinian groups in Gaza will be released during the first six weeks of the ceasefire; in return, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, many of whom are serving life sentences, will be released.

 

The second phase of talks involves the release of more than 60 prisoners. The third phase is set to focus on rebuilding the Gaza Strip and establishing a governance model for the region.
