Media outlets in Gaza report that residents have started to return to their homes in areas from which the IDF has withdrawn.

For now, this does not include residents who wish to leave southern Gaza and return to the north — where Israeli forces are still present and preventing movement — but rather residents who had been displaced east of Khan Younis and have begun returning to the city in recent hours.
