"IDF Prepares to Withdraw Reservists Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict in Gaza"

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are scaling back their reservist deployment in Gaza, with plans to return two additional brigades to civilian life soon, following the earlier release of Division 252. Despite this drawdown, seven brigades continue to engage Hamas in Khan Yunis, indicating a strategic focus on southern Gaza while reducing forces in the north. The IDF is managing its troop levels to maintain pressure on Hamas and prevent their resurgence, with the conflict potentially extending into a prolonged insurgency phase.
