Israeli military pulls troops from southern Gaza

The Israeli military says it has reduced its ground troops in the southern Gaza Strip following the conclusion of its monthslong operation in the city of Khan Younis.

In a statement on Sunday, the IDF said it was pulling its 98th commando division "to recuperate and prepare for future operations."

The Nahal brigade and the 162nd division remain in Gaza, which the IDF describes as "a significant force" that will continue to "operate in the Gaza Strip, and will preserve the IDF’s freedom of action and its ability to conduct precise intelligence based operations."

An Israeli brigade is typically made up of a few thousand troops.

The IDF reported that four Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Gaza on Saturday.

It was not clear if the withdrawal constituted a planned rotation of the troops, or signaled a turning point in Israel's strategy for its military offensive in Gaza.

Also unclear is how this plays into Israel's plans for a ground offensive in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, where as many as a million Gazans are sheltering. A ground offensive in Rafah has become an increasingly contentious point with the U.S., Israel's strongest ally, with President Joe Biden suggesting last month that it was a qualified red line. Last week, a meeting about Israel's plans to evacuate the city erupted into yelling, as the U.S. criticized Israel's plans as insufficient.

It also comes amid mounting international pressure for a cease-fire, and ongoing negotiations for a hostage deal. Hamas has sent a delegation to join talks in Cairo on Sunday, with CIA Director Bill Burns also expected to take part.

Sunday marks six months since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7 that killed more than 1,200 people and has led to Israel’s deadly offensive in the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 33,000 and sparked a humanitarian crisis that has brought an estimated one million people to the brink of famine.

Anyone who doesn't belelieve that anti-Semitism is a huge problem need only look at how quickly the American left turned on Israel in the last six months.

Our government is now officially siding with terrorists and savagely turning on a longtime ally because it's an election year and there's a very loud Muslim voting bloc in Michigan. Goddamn.

I hope that wasn't the calculation because Muslims don't have an option in the GOP ... but Jews do.

"They've been on the ground for four months, the word we're getting is they're tired, they need to be refit," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told ABC's "This Week”

”The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said a "significant force" will continue to operate in the rest of Gaza”


They are just a bit tired after massacring 15,000 children and 20,000+ women and men, and need some rest.

Don’t worry Rugina and Murder. Jews will continue with the slaughter.

Speaking of anti-Semites...

Paramount the lifelong Jew hater, who has repeatedly accused Israel of murdering its own civilians on October 7, would like us to read his thoughts on the Israel-Hamas war, as if he has any credibility or moral standing whatsoever on this subject. ROFL.

Anyway, even if you believe Hamas' casualty counts, Israel has been killing less than 2 civilians for every 1 combatant killed, despite Hamas deliberately hiding behind civilians and using them as human shields. Actually a pretty good performance by the IDF.

"They've been on the ground for four months, the word we're getting is they're tired, they need to be refit,"

Right ... and it just happened to coincide with Biden's threats and Israel allowing more aid into Gaza.

Rugian who supports Israel on its genoicde on the Palestinians, who are a semitic people, are not in the position to accuse anyone of being an anti-semite. Sit down and look yourself in the mirror, Rugian.
