The Israeli army today completely evacuated the Neszarim corridor, which had cut the Gaza Strip into two parts, the north and south and runs through the Palestinian enclave from the east to the west.

The departure was in accordance with the current ceasefire agreement, as a Hamas official said.

“Israeli forces dispersed their positions and military outposts and completely withdrew their shields from the Netzarim corridor on Salahedin road – connecting the south with the northern part of the Palestinian territory – allowing the vehicles to freely circulate freely.” He told the AFP official of the Hamas Interior Ministry in the Gaza Strip.

AFP journalist on the spot confirmed that the Israeli forces were withdrawn from the corridor.

IDF has not yet commented on total retirement, although the images transmitted do not show any Israeli presence.
