"Israel Adjusts Military Tactics Amid Partial Troop Withdrawal from Gaza"
Israel has announced the withdrawal of several thousand troops from Gaza amidst ongoing fighting, with a focus on low-intensity campaigns against Hamas strongholds.

The U.S. has criticized inflammatory comments by Israeli ministers about resettling Palestinians, and a top Hamas official was killed in Beirut. The Israeli Defense Minister has stated that the war against Hamas is not ending soon. Meanwhile, children in Gaza are being vaccinated amid the conflict, and Israel plans to defend itself against genocide accusations at the International Court of Justice. Additionally, Israeli forces killed four Palestinian militants in the West Bank, and the UK has sent aid to Gaza via Egypt. Finally, Israeli airstrikes have targeted the outskirts of Damascus, causing material damage.
