Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza corridor as ceasefire holds

Israeli forces have started withdrawing from the Netzarim corridor in Gaza, fulfilling part of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. This corridor, previously a military zone, is now open for Palestinians to return to their homes in northern Gaza. While the ceasefire has held since January 19, negotiations for its extension face challenges. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is sending a low-level delegation to Qatar for talks, amid pressure from political allies to resume military action against Hamas. In the West Bank, violence continues, highlighted by the fatal shooting of a pregnant Palestinian woman during Israeli military operations. The Israeli military has expanded its operations in the region, aiming to counter perceived threats from Iran.
