Get to know the "yellow line" to which the occupation will withdraw in Gaza.

Since dawn on Thursday, attention has turned to Israeli movements within the Gaza Strip following the announcement of the start of the first phase of military withdrawal, in a step described as the beginning of the implementation of the Sharm El-Sheikh agreement to stop the war and exchange prisoners.

According to the official Israeli broadcasting authority, three Israeli military units that were fighting in Gaza City and the refugee camps in the northern part of the strip began an organized withdrawal from their positions, preparing to reposition according to what is known as the 'yellow line' mentioned in the American peace plan announced by President Donald Trump.

The map attached to the initial withdrawal plan showed that the areas of Rafah, Beit Hanoun, and the Philadelphia Corridor would remain under Israeli control at this stage.

The 'yellow line,' which appeared on the map, illustrates the first phase of the American plan announced by Trump last week, under which the Israeli army is expected to withdraw from northern Gaza to the outskirts of Rafah, coinciding with the implementation of the prisoner and body exchange process.

According to the drawn path, the withdrawal begins from Beit Hanoun in the north, passing through Beit Lahiya, Gaza City, Al-Bureij, Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, and Khuza'a, reaching Rafah in the southern part of the strip.

Thus, it will be a gradual longitudinal withdrawal extending from north to south, crossing the main population centers in Gaza.

An Israeli occupation army source told Reuters that the first phase of the partial withdrawal would be completed within 24 hours, adding that the army 'is preparing to move to adjusted deployment lines.'

Meanwhile, the Israeli army radio confirmed that the three units deployed inside Gaza City had stopped advancing, and that the ongoing operations 'aim only to remove threats and secure the withdrawal route.'

These movements come after Trump announced early Thursday that the Israeli occupation and Hamas had signed the first phase of the 20-point peace plan, which begins with the release of prisoners from both sides and a ceasefire.

While the Israeli government is expected to officially ratify the agreement within hours, the occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he would hold a government meeting on Thursday to ratify the announced agreement, which is expected to end the war in Gaza.
