IDF withdraws all ground troops from southern Gaza, leaving just one brigade in the enclave

Overnight, the IDF withdrew all ground troops from the southern Gaza Strip, after four straight months of fighting in the Khan Younis area.

Only one brigade, Nahal, currently remains in the Gaza Strip.

The Nahal Brigade is tasked with securing the so-called Netzarim Corridor, which crosses Gaza from the Be’eri area in southern Israel to the Strip’s coast.

"withdrew all ground troops" ... "one brigade remains."

I’m not sure if I’m reading it correctly but I think the IDF left ~3000 troops securing the road they plowed through the middle of Gaza to the coast.

NounsAndWords,

The question that I don’t see answered here is whether they are removing troops to deescalate, or to make room for aggressive bombing runs.

wintermute_oregon,

I saw one article that said they are going back to rest, train and re-supply.

That means they are preparing for the next phase

Amaltheamannen,

They are preparing to enter Rafa, where they have forced half of Gaza into.
