The IDF has reduced the number of troops deployed in eastern Rafah and the Givati Brigade left the Gaza Strip overnight from the area where it had been operating for the last three weeks.
The military explained, according to a report by Ynet, that this was done to allow the troops to return to Gaza and Rafah at a later date 'refreshed' after weeks of combat. Four combat teams from the 162nd Division remain.
According to the report, the Givati Brigade's departure from the southern city in the Gaza Strip comes amid reports that Israel will allow the reopening of the Rafah Crossing by the Egyptian army from the southern side of the crossing, in order to allow additional humanitarian aid income, and accordingly, Israeli forces will be removed from the area.
The withdrawal of the forces comes after the International Court of Justice in The Hague (ICJ) ruled on Friday that Israel must "immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part," there is some debate among legal scholars...

“F@#$.”
They are leaving in some of their special forces and intel to continue operations. It’s all about optics.

I find it hard to believe the IDF gives a crap about what the ICJ says
I don’t understand this war cabinet weakness
Israelis I think are just as weak as are the left in this country
They don’t understand what awaits them at the hands of these savages
They will repeat this October 7 over and over until Israel surrenders or until Israel has a leader that will eliminate the Palestinians
Same here. But if they don’t, they’re doing an awful good imitation of meekly obeying like a whipped dog.
“Missiles have hit Tel Aviv, Hertzeliya, Remat Hasharon, Raananah and Kfar Sabah since this damned ICJ order. They’re emboldened, special forces or none.”
Sorry, I did not see that reported anywhere.
The headline is totally misleading. As usual, just assume that all newspapers are propaganda, even Israel National News. I KNOW that they are regrouping and resupplying for the final push in Rafah. Hopefully, Hamas will believe that the IDF is giving up. It will be their latest mistake.
They must not stop until the entirety of Hamas leadership are “in custody”. Along with any and all who are willing to pull triggers on their behalf.
Got that from my wife’s Whatsapp group, Jewish News, I think. Also reported in A7.
