TEL AVIV, Israel - Following the latest hostage-for-prisoner exchange under the current ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli military withdrew from the strategic Netzarim Corridor in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. The corridor divides the coastal strip into northern and southern halves. The army's departure means internally displaced people can return from the south of the Gaza Strip to their largely destroyed homes in the north in even greater numbers than before.
