Israeli Nahal Brigade retreats from Gaza after weeks of destruction in Gaza

Israeli forces have pulled out of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza as the ceasefire takes effect, marking the departure of the Nahal Brigade, which played a key role in the devastating ground assault that reduced entire neighbourhoods to rubble.

The Israeli military confirmed that the brigade, part of Division 62, is now regrouping and “preparing for the next missions” after weeks of siege and relentless bombardment that left countless Palestinian families homeless and grieving.

During the invasion, 67 Israeli soldiers and commanders from the Nahal Brigade were killed, while the Palestinian death toll from the onslaught remains much higher, with civilians bearing the brunt of Israel’s military aggression.
