Under a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, Israeli troops have started withdrawing from parts of Gaza, allowing some residents to return to their devastated neighborhoods. In Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan area, homes lie in ruins, and many locals remain cautious about whether the ceasefire will hold. Ismail Zayda, a 40-year-old resident, expressed gratitude that his house is still standing, while neighbors’ houses were completely destroyed. In southern Gaza’s Khan Yunis, some Israeli troops have already pulled back, though tank fire continues in nearby areas. In central Nuseirat refugee camp, soldiers retreated east toward the Israeli border, with some returning after early morning gunfire. Rescue teams are now reaching previously inaccessible areas, recovering bodies from earlier attacks. The ceasefire, part of a U.S.-backed plan, includes prisoner exchanges and phased Israeli troop withdrawals.
