Israeli troops withdraw from Netzarim Corridor, allowing free movement for Palestinians in Gaza

Israeli troops have withdrawn from the Netzarim Corridor, a militarized zone in Gaza, allowing Palestinians to move freely between the north and south for the first time in over a year. This withdrawal is part of a ceasefire agreement. The Israeli military stated that the move was to facilitate the return of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Hamas has called the withdrawal a victory, claiming it reflects the resilience of their people. Scenes of destruction have emerged from the corridor following the withdrawal. Meanwhile, discussions continue about the potential relocation of Gaza's population, but regional leaders have criticized these proposals as unrealistic.
