Gaza City, Palestinian Territories: The Israeli military has withdrawn from the Netzarim Corridor on Gaza’s Salaheddin Road as part of an ongoing ceasefire deal, a Hamas official told AFP on Sunday.

"Israeli forces have dismantled their positions and military posts and completely withdrawn their tanks from the Netzarim Corridor on Salaheddin Road, allowing vehicles to pass freely in both directions," the official from the Hamas-run interior ministry said.

An AFP journalist at the scene confirmed that no Israeli forces were present on Sunday.
