Israel has withdrawn its troops from the south of the Gaza Strip, notably from the town of Khan Younes. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant explained this withdrawal by the need to prepare for the next missions.

Israeli and Hamas delegations will visit the Egyptian capital on Sunday, pro-government Egyptian media Al-Qahera News reported. Triggered on October 7 by an unprecedented bloody attack by Hamas in Israel, the Israeli offensive knows no respite. It left 33,137 dead, most of them civilians, according to the Palestinian Islamist movement's Ministry of Health.
