Why Israel is withdrawing troops from Southern Gaza | LBC
Israel Defence Force troops have mostly withdrawn from southern Gaza's Khan Younis as negotiations continue into a ceasefire with Hamas.
Nick Ferrari hears from the Guardian's Diplomatic Editor Patrick Wintour (00:40) and the former Deputy Commander for the IDF in Gaza, Amir Avivi (04:27).
Israeli forces wrapped up the latest phase in its ground offensive against the Hamas terrorist group following the October 7 attacks six months ago.
The move takes the troop levels in the strip to its lowest levels since the war began.
Despite hopes of a permanent ceasefire rising, senior defence sources say that the move is simply to prepare for the move into Rafah, the final Hamas stronghold.
Lt Gen Herzi Halevi said: “The war in Gaza continues, and we are far from stopping."
Local broadcaster Channel 13 TV said that Rafah will be evacuated starting as soon as this week by the IDF, with the process likely to take several months.
The IDF said: “Today, Sunday April 7th, the IDF’s 98th commando division has concluded its mission in Khan Younis. The division left the Gaza Strip in order to recuperate and prepare for future operations.
“A significant force led by the 162nd division and the Nahal brigade continues to operate in the Gaza Strip and will preserve the IDF’s freedom of action and its ability to conduct precise intelligence based operations."
Hamas and IDF negotiators are currently in Egypt trying to secure a peace deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas's current demands are "too extreme" to accept.
