Israeli military pulls out of southern Gaza amid ongoing negotiations

CIA Director William Burns is set to attend cease-fire talks in Cairo with Israeli and Hamas delegations. The talks come as Netanyahu faces pressure from allies and Israelis over the ongoing Gaza war. Israel has withdrawn its ground troops, including the 98th Division, from southern Gaza, but a "significant force" will remain in the rest of the besieged strip. Israeli media reports suggest this withdrawal is tactical and part of a shift towards "targeted incursions." The Israeli army announced the withdrawal of its ground troops from Khan Yunis on Sunday. An Israeli brigade typically consists of a few thousand troops.
