Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Israeli forces in Gaza began pulling back to pre-agreed positions Friday in line with the terms of the cease-fire and hostage release agreement requiring a partial withdrawal within 24 hours of the Israeli cabinet signing off on the deal.
The Israel Defense Forces posted a video on X of troops preparing to pull out and military vehicles moving under the cover of darkness.
"Southern Command in the midst of adjusting operational positions in Gaza," it said, but warned that troops were still deployed in the area and would counter any threats that emerged.
IDF Radio said the IDF projected that its forces would have withdrawn to the agreed positions by noon local time.
