ALBAWABA - The Israeli army announced completely withdrawing from the north, and west of Gaza City for the very first time since the Israeli military launched its ground offensive on October 27, Anadolu Agency reported Thursday.

Israeli forces announced a ground operation in Gaza on October 27, less than a month after the Hamas' military operation against Israel, which is the biggest offensive in decades.

This comes amid news that the Palestine Liberation Organization slammed the US House’s approval of banning entry of its members as a "serious decision infringing upon rights of our people."

Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel

Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.

Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.

In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
