Netanyahu Pulls Some Troops From Gaza and Says Victory Near.

HIZBALLAH (Lebanon) ; HAMAS

Israel has announced that it is withdrawing some troops from the city of Khan Younis in Gaza after six months of fighting against Hamas. The troops are being moved to prepare for future operations, including a potential offensive on Rafah, a city in the south of Gaza. The Israeli government has faced opposition from its allies, including the US, who are concerned about the safety of the civilian population in Rafah. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel is close to victory in its war against Hamas, which was triggered by an attack on southern Israel by the Iran-backed group. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties on both sides. Additionally, tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated, with Iran vowing revenge for a suspected Israeli attack on its embassy in Syria. Israel has not confirmed the attack. Iranian officials have warned that Israeli embassies are no longer safe. [Extracted from the article]
