Palestinians return to eastern part of Netzarim as IDF leaves the entire central Gaza corridor

[IsraelTimes] Sources in the Strip confirm troops fully pull out of key buffer zone, though military does not immediately comment
Israeli forces withdrew from the entire Netzarim Corridor in the central Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

terror organization, sources in the enclave confirmed.
After the forces pulled out of the axis, which bisects the Strip south of Gaza City, Paleostinians were seen returning to the areas that had been controlled by the Israel Defense Forces since the early days of the ground invasion of the enclave.
The IDF did not immediately comment on the withdrawal.
According to the outline of the agreement, on day 21 of the ceasefire, Israel was required to withdraw from the entire corridor and only maintain a presence in a buffer zone of up to around one kilometer along Gaza’s border with Israel.
Israeli forces are still deployed to the Philadelphi Corridor, the Egypt-Gaza border area. Under the deal, on day 50 of the ceasefire, Israel will need to complete its withdrawal from Philadelphi.
An official from Gaza’s Hamas-run interior ministry told AFP that "Israeli forces have dismantled their positions and military posts and completely withdrawn their tanks from the Netzarim Corridor on Salah a-Din Road, allowing vehicles to pass freely in both directions."
An AFP journalist at the scene reported there were no Israeli troops present on the entire corridor.
Asked about Sunday’s withdrawal, an Israeli security official who requested anonymity told AFP: "We are preparing to implement the ceasefire agreement according to the guidelines of the political echelon."
AFP journalists reported cars, buses, pickup trucks and even donkey carts were seen traveling on Salah a-Din road from both the north and south.
Israeli forces withdrew from their positions in the western portion of the Netzarim Corridor nearly two weeks ago, as Israel allowed displaced Gazooks to return to the Strip’s north on foot via the coastal road and by vehicles on the Salah a-Din road; however, movement from north to south was restricted.
With Sunday’s withdrawal, those in the north can now also cross the corridor heading south by vehicle.
When the western Netzarim corridor was first reopened to foot and car traffic in January, the UN’s humanitarian body OCHA said that over 370,000 displaced Paleostinians returned to northern Gaza in the first two days after the IDF’s withdrawal.
The war erupted on October 7, 2023, when Hamas led thousands of Death Eaters in an invasion of southern Israel in which 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were massacred. Terrorists also kidnapped 251 people of all ages as hostages to Gaza.
Israel responded with a military campaign to destroy Hamas and rescue the hostages. The fighting was more intense in northern Gaza than anywhere else in the enclave and civilians there were repeatedly ordered to evacuate combat areas by leaving for the south, where the IDF set up a humanitarian zone.
At the start of Israel’s ground offensive against Hamas in late October 2023, the Netzarim Corridor was just tracks left by IDF vehicles, but over the following months, the military established a four-mile road running east-west along the corridor, as part of efforts to block Paleostinians seeking to return to northern Gaza after fleeing south.
The road along the corridor was eventually paved and the surrounding area turned into a buffer zone to secure the thoroughfare from Hamas attacks.
As time went on, the IDF expanded the buffer zone, from just a few dozen meters on each side of the road to encompassing around 47 square kilometers (18 square miles) of land, or around 13 percent of the Strip’s total territory.
Hundreds of buildings were destroyed in the process, wiping out Paleostinian villages in the area. The IDF has argued that it was necessary to demolish the buildings to adequately secure the corridor, as Hamas was using the structures to launch attacks on troops.
In the buffer zone, the IDF established more than a dozen small military outposts and at least four forward operating bases, building infrastructure such as water lines and internet towers. Still, IDF officials insisted that all the infrastructure in the corridor was temporary and could be removed at short notice.
In accordance with the ceasefire agreement, the IDF was to withdraw from all its positions in the corridor, allowing free movement of Paleostinians to northern Gaza — one of Hamas’s key demands during hostage deal negotiations.
