Israeli Aircraft Withdraw from Southern Gaza as Ceasefire Begins

Israeli aircraft have completely withdrawn from the southern regions of the Gaza Strip following the commencement of a temporary truce, as reported by "Cairo News." Prior to the truce, Israeli planes had dropped leaflets over various areas of the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military warned residents and displaced people in the southern areas of the Gaza Strip against moving to the northern regions and Gaza City during the temporary humanitarian truce. The ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, sponsored by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, went into effect earlier today, Friday.

In the hours leading up to the ceasefire, the Israeli military escalated its targeting across Gaza. The Jabalia camp in the north of the sector, Nuseirat in the center, and Khan Yunis and Rafah in the south witnessed intense shelling, resulting in dozens of casualties, including both deaths and injuries, and targeting several hospitals.

This development marks a significant moment in the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, providing a brief respite from the hostilities that have plagued the region. The withdrawal of Israeli aircraft from southern Gaza is seen as a key component of the ceasefire agreement, aimed at reducing tensions and potentially paving the way for further negotiations. The international community, particularly the sponsoring nations, continues to monitor the situation closely, hoping for a sustained period of calm and progress towards a more permanent resolution.
