Israel withdraws ground troops from the southern part of the Gaza Strip after completing its mission in the Khan Younis area, keeping significant forces in the area for future operations against Hamas.

Israel is withdrawing ground troops from the southern Gaza Strip. This was stated by the Israeli Defense Forces, UNN reports.

Details

In particular, after months of fighting around the town of Khan Younis, the 98th Israeli Division left the sector.

The IDF's 98th Special Forces Division has completed its mission in Khan Younis. The division left the Gaza Strip to recover and prepare for future operations

- the IDF said in a statement.

At the same time, a significant number of Israeli troops will continue to operate in the Gaza Strip and preserve the freedom of action of the Israeli Defense Forces and its ability to conduct precise operations based on intelligence.

According to Radio Liberty, it remains unclear whether the withdrawal will postpone the invasion of the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, which Israeli leaders say is necessary to eliminate Hamas.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on April 7 that Israel is one step away from winning the war with Hamas and stressed that there will be no ceasefire until Hamas releases all hostages.

Recall

On October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked Israel's border areas from the Gaza Strip. The attack killed about 1200 people and took about 250 hostages.

In response to the attack, Israel launched a bombing campaign in the Gaza Strip, followed by a ground operation. Its goal was declared to be the destruction of Hamas, depriving the group of control over Gaza, and the release of hostages.
