Israel withdrawing reserve division from Gaza
The Israeli army says in a post on X that the 252nd Reserve Division will leave the central Gaza Strip “after several months of fighting in the area”.
According to The Times of Israel, the division operated in the Netzarim Corridor area, a 6.5km (4-mile) wide strip of land occupied by Israeli forces that cuts the Gaza Strip in two.
Israel’s prolonged assaults on Gaza, the occupied West Bank and now Lebanon have seen the Israeli army searching for more conscripts, including ultra-Orthodox Jewish men and, according to some reports, African migrants.

For the past 13 months, Ahmed Jarad has been living with the dim hope that he might one day return to his home in Beit Lahiya, a village in the north of the Gaza Strip.
But on Wednesday, as Trump declared his triumphant return to the White House, Jarad said his dream of returning to his hometown, currently being pounded by Israel and its stranded population sealed off from the south, has been crushed.
Jarad said he is certain that Israel’s brutality will only worsen once Trump, who enjoyed a close relationship with Netanyahu during his first presidency, is once again sworn in as leader of the world’s strongest superpower.
Trump helped Netanyahu back in power, Netanyahu returned the favor.
