Israel’s military withdraws from Netzarim-Korridor

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is considered fragile. However, the Israeli army has now taken another agreed step.

After the release of other Hamas Geiseln, the Israeli army has withdrawn from the so-called Netzarim corridor in the Gaza Strip. This divides the coastal strip into a northern and a southern half. As the AFP news agency announced, the military has completely left the area.

After the ceasefire began with Hamas, Israel had already withdrawn from part of the strategically significant Nezarim corridor. After that, apart from an area of ​​one kilometer wide directly on the border with Israel, it should completely clear it. In this way, Palestinians, who were driven out of the cities of the north to the south as a result of the war, could return to even larger numbers than previously destroyed residential locations.
