Israeli troops have withdrawn from Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood following a six-day operation, Al Jazeera reports.

The IDF reentered Zeitoun last Thursday for the third time in the ongoing war after identifying Hamas regrouping there.

Last night, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said troops have killed more than 150 gunmen and destroyed some 80 sites used by terror groups in the Zeitoun operation.

The IDF has not yet confirmed it has wrapped up the raid.
