Israel pulls back troops as Gaza ceasefire begins

Israel has partially withdrawn its forces from Gaza following the start of a ceasefire with Hamas on Friday morning, the first phase of a US-brokered agreement approved by the Israeli government.

Troops remain in control of about half of the territory as thousands of displaced Palestinians return north.

Under the deal, Hamas must release all Israeli hostages by Monday, while Israel is to free roughly 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 detainees from Gaza.

The truce also allows up to 600 aid trucks daily into the enclave, where famine conditions have been declared. Meanwhile, around 200 US troops will be redeployed to Israel to help monitor the fragile ceasefire’s implementation.

  1. Meanwhile, around 200 US troops will be redeployed to Israel to help monitor the fragile ceasefire’s implementation.
    What this is all about.
    Just like why UK EU want a ceasefire in Ukraine.
    Injecting US peace keepers deployed into the crime scene.
    The ceasefire will break for some flimsy excuse and US troops will aid the IDF and turn on the Palestinians and a disarmed Hamas.
    To help “finish the job” or the infamous “final solution”.
    Palestine and Hamas have been set up.
    There is no plan for an ever lasting peace.
    That is a pipe dream.
    There is an agenda at play here that is still on the table.
    I sincerely hope I have got it completely wrong.

  2. There is a signed ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas as of October 9, 2025—but it is partial, fragile, and deeply contested. While some critics speculate about a “false flag” or performative diplomacy, the deal has been ratified by both parties and includes concrete steps like hostage exchanges and aid delivery.

    🕊️ What the Ceasefire Actually Includes
    – Signed first phase: Israel and Hamas agreed to the initial phase of Trump’s 20-point peace plan, which includes:
    – A halt to fighting
    – Release of hostages held in Gaza
    – Release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails
    – A surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza
    – Ratified by Israel: The Israeli cabinet formally approved the deal on October 10, 2025.
    – Hamas acceptance: Hamas publicly stated it had received U.S. guarantees that “the war has ended indefinitely”.

    ⚠️ Why It Feels Like a “False Flag” to Some
    – Continued airstrikes: Despite the ceasefire announcement, Israeli bombardment has continued, especially around Gaza City. This has led many to question whether the guns have truly fallen silent.
    – No full withdrawal: The IDF has only partially pulled back, and Hamas’s disarmament and Gaza’s governance remain unresolved.
    – No deadline for final deal: Unlike past ceasefires, this agreement doesn’t set a timeline for full resolution—leaving room for ambiguity and potential collapse.
    – Distrust and trauma: After two years of brutal war, many Palestinians and Israelis remain skeptical, fearing the deal is more symbolic than substantive.

  3. The gemocidals never respected an agreement.

    I wish israhell and its criminals are soon totally anihilated. Curse them all for ever
