Israeli forces begin withdrawal from Gaza's Netzarim corridor under ceasefire deal

news.sky.com

Israeli forces have started withdrawing from the Netzarim corridor in Gaza as part of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. This corridor, which is four miles long, separates northern Gaza from the south. The ceasefire allows Palestinians to return to their homes, many of which are damaged. Hamas has deployed its police to oversee the movement of people through the corridor. Negotiations for the next phase of the deal, involving the release of all Israeli hostages, have stalled. Israel insists on eliminating Hamas's military capabilities before a full withdrawal, while Hamas demands the removal of Israeli troops before releasing the remaining hostages.
