Israel announces the withdrawal of its ground troops from southern Gaza after six months of war. The army assures that it has achieved its objectives in Khan Yunis and alludes to the fact that it will prioritize “intelligence-based operations.” Military sources deny that the decision is due to pressure from the United States.
More than 33,000 Palestinians have perished in this half-year of war, according to data from the Ministry of Health of the enclave governed by Hamas. At least 13,000 embodied the essence of a civilian: they were children.
