Palestinians Return to Khan Younis as Israel Withdraws Troops

Palestinians have begun returning to the devastated city of Khan Younis, after Israel says it is reducing the numbers of soldiers in southern Gaza

Israel’s military stresses a “significant force” will remain in Gaza, with the defence minister saying troops had to prepare for future operations

The pull-out is being interpreted as tactical, rather than a sign the war may be moving closer to its end

Khan Younis has been under Israeli bombardment for months – the city and surrounding area are largely destroyed

Meanwhile, international pressure for a ceasefire is mounting as negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue in Cairo

The US warned last week that its ongoing support for Israel was dependent on “specific, concrete steps” to boost aid and prevent civilian deaths
