Israel has announced a shift in tactics as its war against Hamas continues, with plans to withdraw some of its reservist forces from Gaza. However, this move does not indicate a decrease in Israel's determination to fight against the Iranian-backed militant group. The reservists being called back will come from two different brigades, ensuring that Israel remains prepared for any future conflicts.
One of the objectives of this new phase of fighting is to allow displaced residents near the border to return home. Israel's Homefront Command has announced that residents living two and a half miles or more from Gaza will now be able to go back to their homes. Previously, this area had been considered a closed military zone.
