IDF says all troops will be out by 8 a.m.
The Israeli military says all its ground troops will have pulled out of the Gaza Strip by the start of the cease-fire agreed to by both sides in the war.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner says the withdrawal will be completed by 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Lerner says the withdrawal is going forward after Israel completed the destruction of 32 cross-border tunnels meant to allow Islamic militants to carry out attacks against Israel.
