The Israeli Defense Forces' Givati Brigade has completed its withdrawal from Gaza, exiting the Strip with high morale, according to reports from "קבינט מדיני ביטחוני - מוריה אסרף & דור...". This follows earlier movements where IDF tanks departed A-Rashid Street, a coastal axis in central Gaza, allowing for free traffic to and from the north of the Strip. These events occurred between 6:06 AM and 6:35 AM UTC on October 10th, 2025, as the military continues to execute post-ceasefire troop movements. During a cabinet meeting, discussions were held regarding prisoners and the associated dangers, with a senior GSS official who participated in talks stating that the deal, despite its high cost, was the right decision at this time. This sentiment was echoed by reports indicating that after two years of war, thousands of homes can now be returned to and people can begin to 'breathe' again, with gratitude expressed for the sacrifices made. The Givati Brigade's exit was specifically noted as having occurred with high morale. Separately, an Iron Dome missile was reported to have exploded in the sky over Khan Yunis, according to journalist مهند قشطة. Residents in the Wrade area also reported interceptions. These developments are occurring amidst broader post-ceasefire activities, including the earlier withdrawal of the Golani Brigade and 7th Armored Brigade from Gaza between 5:36 AM and 6:05 AM UTC, as previously reported. Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to discuss "The Day" at 1 PM UTC, with attendees including Kushner, Vitkoff, the Defense Minister, Chief of Staff, Santcomr, and Defense System officials. Separately, a speech by Donald Trump in the Knesset is expected at 2 AM UTC. The broader context includes the ratification of a ceasefire and hostage deal, which has led to the commencement of Israeli troop withdrawals from Gaza.
