Israeli military completes withdrawal from Netzarim Corridor 

The Israeli military has completed its withdrawal from the Netzarim Corridor in northern Gaza on Sunday as part of an ongoing ceasefire deal.

"Israeli forces have dismantled their positions and military posts and completely withdrawn their tanks from the Netzarim Corridor on Salah al-Din Street, allowing vehicles to pass freely in both directions," a Hamas official told AFP.  

The Netzarim Corridor is a 6km stretch dividing northern and southern Gaza that was established by Israel’s military during the war to monitor and control the movement of Palestinians between northern and southern Gaza. It has also been used to launch military operations.

The arbitrary line is named after Netzarim, one of the illegal Israeli settlements that existed in the Gaza Strip before the Israeli withdrawal in 2005.
