The Israeli military completed its withdrawal from the Netzarim Corridor on a key highway in Gaza as part of an ongoing ceasefire deal, a Hamas official told AFP.

“Israeli forces have dismantled their positions and military posts and completely withdrawn their tanks from the Netzarim Corridor on Salaheddin Road, allowing vehicles to pass freely in both directions,” the official from the interior ministry said.

An AFP journalist at the scene said that no Israeli forces were present.
