Israel has begun to allow Palestinians to return into the northern part of the Gaza Strip after the Israel Defense Forces left the Netzarim Corridor dividing the Strip.
In accordance with the terms of the ongoing ceasefire deal, Gazans were allowed to pass through the corridor by foot without undergoing security checks.
Vehicles were also allowed to return northward, subject to inspection by an international consortium of security companies.
Hamas hailed the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza as “a victory for our people and a declaration of the failure and defeat of the occupation [i.e. Israel] and its displacement plans.”
