The withdrawal includes five brigades which reportedly consist of thousands of soldiers.
Israel said numerous factors contributed to the decision to pull the troops from Gaza.
“This move is expected to significantly alleviate economic burdens and enable them to gather strength for upcoming activities in the next year,” Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari said, according to the New York Times.
Hagari emphasized that this move does not change Israel's mission to eliminate Hamas. He said the military is planning to carry out operations for the entirety of 2024.
