Hamas condemns what it says is a non-commitment by Israel to withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor under the ceasefire deal, according to a statement by the group.

The corridor runs the length of Gaza’s southern border with Egypt.

The text of the ceasefire deal required Israel to begin withdrawing from the corridor on day 42 and complete the pullout by day 50 — which is today. Israeli troops currently remain in the buffer zone.
