Palestinian media outlets report that the IDF has started to pull out of part of the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, ahead of the reopening of the area to displaced Palestinians returning to the Strip’s north.
The reports say the army is evacuating the western part of the Netzarim Corridor, which bisects Gaza and separates its north from its south.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
According to the truce deal, the IDF is meant at this stage to “completely withdraw” eastward from Rasheed Street on the coast, and to dismantle all military sites and installations in the area.
Tens of thousands of Gazans massed yesterday on Rasheed Street, but the IDF didn’t open the area as planned and warned residents not to near, accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire deal. Now that the disagreements have been resolved, the return northward is set to begin in under 30 minutes.
