Israeli forces withdrawing from Philadelphi Corridor, says report

The majority of Israeli forces have left the so-called Philadelphi Corridor - known in Egypt as the Salah al-Din axis - in recent hours, an Egyptian source has told Al-Arabiya TV. 

The corridor is a 14km-long, 100 metre-wide demilitarised buffer zone that runs along the entirety of the boundary between Egypt and Gaza. 

In the summer, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had declared that under a truce agreement, there would be no Israeli withdrawal from the area.
