The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that its elite 98th Division, comprised of paratroopers and commandos, has completed its operations in Khan Younis and Gaza City and has now withdrawn from the Gaza Strip.

According to the military, the redeployment aligns with pre-planned operational objectives. The division, which played a central role in ground operations targeting Hamas infrastructure and combatants, is now preparing for future assignments.

This strategic shift marks a transition in Israel’s military posture while maintaining readiness amid the ongoing conflict. The IDF emphasized that operational flexibility remains critical as security conditions evolve on the ground.
