Israel withdraws from Netzarim Corridor in Gaza under ceasefire agreement
cnn.com —
Israel has completed its withdrawal from the Netzarim Corridor, a key road in Gaza, as part of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. This area had been occupied by Israeli forces since the start of the conflict. Palestinians are now able to travel through the corridor, which had been a zone of occupation. The withdrawal allows displaced individuals to return to their homes in northern Gaza, although a checkpoint remains in place. The ceasefire agreement also includes the release of hostages, with three more freed recently. However, negotiations for further phases of the deal are uncertain, and tensions continue, as Israeli forces recently opened fire near the Gaza border.
