The Israeli army withdraws brigades from Gaza
The Israeli army has decided to withdraw some of its brigades from the Gaza Strip, as reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing information from The Times of Israel. This decision comes as a result of the successful strengthening of control over the region by IDF troops. The department has announced the release of five brigades from active combat operations in Gaza, with a commitment to continue the fight against Hamas in 2024.
The military has confirmed its readiness for prolonged operations, with a focus on changes in the strategy of military campaigns. This decision was made during the ongoing actions in Gaza, where various divisions such as the 162nd, 36th, 98th, and 99th are currently deployed, engaging Hamas in different areas.
The review of troop deployment was announced by IDF spokesperson Counter-Admiral Daniel Hagari, who emphasized the necessity of long-term operations in response to the ongoing threat of terrorism from Hamas.
