After the four-day truce between Israel and Hamas began, a Reuters correspondent saw dozens of Israeli military vehicles, including tanks, moving away from the Gaza Strip.

Several soldiers in the armoured column said they had been pulled out of the Palestinian territory.

In Khan Younis town in southern Gaza, where streets were filled with people, Palestinian Khaled Abu Anzah told Reuters: “We are full of hope, optimism, and pride in our resistance. We are proud of our achievements, despite the pain this caused.”
