Military sources reported that the occupation army decided to withdraw the 252nd Division from areas of the northern Gaza Strip, after a period of continuous operations lasting four months characterized by widespread destruction and forced displacement of residents. A statement from the occupation army clarified that this division had completed its assigned tasks, and that forces from the 99th Division would take over field responsibility to continue operations in the same area, without disclosing the total number of remaining divisions inside the Strip.
These field movements come at a time when the head of the occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, revealed military ambitions to expand the area of presence in Gaza. Netanyahu indicated in recent statements that his forces currently control approximately 60% of the Strip's area, confirming plans to increase this percentage to 70% in the next phase.
It is worth noting that previous reports had indicated the occupation's control over about 53% of the geographical area of the Strip, following a redeployment carried out as part of the first phase of a plan supported by US President Donald Trump, which indicates an escalation in the pace of geographical encroachment practiced by the occupation in Gaza.
The forces currently control about 60 percent of the Gaza Strip, and intend to raise this percentage to 70 percent.
