Hamas media claims IDF withdrawing from parts of Rafah, moving to Philadelphi Corridor instead

Hamas-affiliated media claims that Israeli forces have started withdrawing from areas in Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza, and are instead regrouping along the Philadelphi Corridor on the Gaza-Egypt border.

There is no comment from the IDF.

The reports come ahead of the slated release of three female Israeli hostages later on Sunday as the ceasefire-hostage release deal begins, although Hamas has yet to provide Israel with their names.
