[HIGHLIGHTS] The IDF has largely withdrawn from Gaza - and residents in Otef are angry: "Tired of being the state's target"

The residents of the Gaza Envelope, most of whom have not yet returned to their homes, do not care if there is a date or not for entering Rafah. The departure of the IDF from Khan Yunis together with the reports that they will allow Gazans to return to the north arouse great anger.

"We will not be protected until the entire Hamas organization is eliminated," says Assi Arbiv. "The defeat of Hamas and the return of the abductees and the guarantee of peace for many years are the basic promise of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant," says Tamir Idan, head of the Negev Fields Council. "Stop considering only what the world says and the situation of the residents in Gaza, who are dancing on our blood," says Revital Hermon, a resident of the city of Sderot. "It feels like one big lawlessness," she accuses the IDF, "in which they promised us security"
