Israeli military to begin phased withdrawal from Gaza post parliament ratification

Jerusalem, Oct 9 (UNI) The Israeli military is set to begin a phased withdrawal from the Gaza Strip after the Knesset officially ratifies the ceasefire agreement reached with Hamas later this evening, as per Israeli officials.
Within 24 hours of the ratification, the IDF is expected to pull back to pre-agreed deployment lines - retaining control over approximately 53% of Gaza's territory — primarily in less densely populated zones, reports Jerusalem Post.
This partial withdrawal will lead to the creation of a security buffer zone for Jerusalem, leaving the IDF troops along the entire Gaza border in possession of the Philadelphi Corridor on the Egypt-Gaza frontier, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahiya in the north, an eastern ridge overlooking Gaza City, along with substantial parts of Rafah and Khan Younis in the south.
