"Israeli Military Reduces Troops in Southern Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict"

The Israeli military has reportedly withdrawn most of its troops from the southern Gaza Strip, including Khan Younis, while maintaining a significant force in the rest of Gaza. Conflicting reports surround the scale and duration of the disengagement, with speculation about a potential ground offensive into Rafah. As the six-month war on Gaza continues, Egypt is preparing for ceasefire talks, with the withdrawal being one of Hamas' demands. The conflict has left a deadly trail, with the International Court of Justice describing it as a "plausible case of genocide," and the United Nations warning of widespread famine due to the displacement of 1.7 million people.
