Multiple Israeli Defense Forces brigades, including the 188th and Givati, completed their withdrawal from the Gaza Strip by 7:00 AM UTC on October 10th, 2025, allowing Gazan residents to return to heavily damaged neighborhoods. The IDF's departure from areas like Al-Rashid Street and the Netzarim Corridor intersection in Gaza City has reportedly enabled free movement to and from the northern Gaza Strip. This withdrawal follows earlier movements by the Golani and 7th Armored Brigades that began between 5:36 AM and 6:05 AM UTC, as reported by N12 and Faytuks Network. Reports from sources including "ืงืืื ื ืืืื ื ืืืืืื ื - ืืืจืื ืืกืจืฃ & ืืืจ..." and "ืขืืืช ืกืื" confirm the completion of these withdrawals. "ืขืืืช ืกืื" noted that the Hakka Nahal brigade was seen performing road prayers upon exiting Gaza City. Residents have begun surveying damaged homes in areas such as Gaza City, Jabalia, and the Ghubbari area, as indicated by reports from journalists like ู ููุฏ ูุดุทุฉ. The withdrawal marks a significant phase after the ratification of a ceasefire and hostage deal. During a cabinet meeting, discussions were held regarding prisoners and associated risks, with a senior GSS official deeming the deal the correct decision despite its high cost. These troop movements are part of ongoing post-ceasefire activities. Earlier in the reporting window, between 6:06 AM and 6:35 AM UTC, the Givati Brigade completed its withdrawal, coinciding with IDF tanks departing A-Rashid Street, which facilitated traffic to northern Gaza. The previous report also mentioned an Iron Dome missile exploding over Khan Yunis and reported interceptions by residents in the Wrade area.
