The newspaper Israeli The Times of Israel, which leaked the information, states that the maneuver took place “overnight”, indicating that currently in the enclave there is only one brigade, the Nahal, which is responsible for securing a corridor between southern Israel and the Gaza coast, blocking the passage to the north of the Gaza Strip and facilitating operations in the centre and north of the territory.

“The withdrawal is taking place as Egypt prepares to host a new round of talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire and a hostage release agreement,” said the US agency Reuters without providing further information.

On ther hand, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamí Netanyahu said the IDF will not leave the Gaza Strip and thousands of Palestinian prisoners will not be released until they meet their goals, so the sudden withdrawal has caused confusion in the international community.

Al-Amal and Naser, the two main hospitals in the area have been completely destroyed by Israeli bombardments. The Zionist militias allege that alleged fighters of the Paleatin Hamas resistance forces were present in the hospitals, which has been refuted on several occasions.

Many fear that this movement of troops will be to concentrate forces and undertake the already announced military incursion in Rafah, in the south of the enclave, where 1.4 million displaced people live, an incursion that the United States, Israel’s main military ally, opposes.
