Israel begins Gaza pullout as hostage deal advances

Withdrawal begins hours after Trump announced ceasefire agreement; logistical units leave, with combat troops to follow; IDF pulling back to border defenses as Hamas expected to regain control of major urban centers within days

The IDF began a gradual withdrawal from parts of the Gaza Strip on Thursday morning, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the first phase of a hostage‑release deal had been approved.
In the initial step, logistical units were pulled back from the Gaza City area. These forces belonged to divisions that have operated within Gaza over the past month as part of Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, a campaign whose military objectives were not fully attained when troops halted before entering target neighborhoods intended for Hamas base destruction.
