Sana'a - Saba:
After many months of fierce fighting, massacres and destruction, the Zionist enemy was forced to withdraw from the Netzarim axis again as part of a deal with the Palestinian resistance, and it became ironic that the site, which was seen within the Netanyahu government as a symbol of the return of settlement and control, became today a symbol of military defeat.
In this context, leaders of the extreme right in the Zionist enemy entity, such as Itamar Ben-Gvir, recognized the failure of the Zionist plan in the Netzarim axis, which turned into a new witness to the ability of the Palestinian resistance to thwart the occupation projects, despite attempts to consolidate the settlement by force.
On Sunday, the Zionist enemy army announced that it had completed the withdrawal of its forces from the Netzarim axis in Gaza Strip as part of the implementation of the ceasefire agreement with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), after occupying it for more than a year and three months.
The occupation army radio said: "Our forces have completely withdrawn from Netzarim," after orders were issued earlier yesterday for Zionist forces to withdraw from the axis separating the northern and southern Gaza Strip.
With the outbreak of the recent war, the ambitions of the Zionist settler herds were renewed, and they collaborated with prominent officers such as Yehuda Fach, commander of the 252nd Division, in an attempt to impose permanent Zionist control.
However, the field reality was completely different, as the axis turned into a trap for the invading occupiers, as the Palestinian resistance carried out qualitative operations, including detonating explosive devices and sniper operations, making the site a constant target for attacks by Palestinian resistance factions, resulting in many deaths and injuries in the ranks of the enemy army.
During the Zionist-American genocidal war on Gaza, the Nitzarim axis, or the "axis of death" as the people of Gaza Strip call it, emerged among the military axes used by the occupation army, as one of the strategic points that were used to carry out intensive military operations that directly affected the lives of the population.
Commenting on this withdrawal, Hamas emphasized that the withdrawal of the Zionist enemy army from the Netzarim axis is a victory for the will of the Palestinians, the culmination of the steadfastness , heroism of its valiant resistance, and an affirmation of the failure of the terrorist aggression's goals.
The movement said in a statement today: "The Palestinian people in Gaza Strip, with their steadfastness on their land, the sacrifices and heroism of their sons in the resistance, led by Al-Qassam Brigades, have overthrown the illusions of the occupation and its fascist leadership about military control , division of the Strip, and attempts to impose a fait accompli through extermination, starvation and systematic destruction."
It stressed that completing this withdrawal today, imposing the reconnection of the center of the Gaza Strip to its north, continuing the return of displaced people to their land , houses in the northern areas of Gaza Strip, and proceeding with prisoner exchanges and freeing our prisoners from occupation prisons; confirms her determination to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people to freedom on their land , their determination to thwart plans to displace them and continue the struggle until they achieve their aspirations in self-determination and establish their independent state, with Al-Quds as its capital.
According to media reports, the Zionist withdrawal from the Netzarim axis comes as part of the steps agreed upon in the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
For his part, Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri said: "The scene of the Zionist withdrawal from the Netzarim axis is a declaration of Netanyahu's defeat and failure to achieve his goals or stay on the land of Gaza." He added: "The invasions are repeated, but the result is the same: Gaza is insurmountable for the invaders."
Abu Zuhri continued: "The scene of the humiliating Zionist withdrawal from the Netzarim axis is a declaration of Netanyahu's defeat and failure to achieve his goals or stay on the land of Gaza."
It is noteworthy that in 2005, the criminal Sharon withdrew from Gaza at the time, although he said: "Netzarim is like Tel Aviv," and today, 20 years later, the scene is repeated as Netanyahu humbly withdraws from Netzarim despite saying: "I will not withdraw from Netzarim under any circumstances." "I will not withdraw from Netzarim under any circumstances."
Abu Zuhri continued: "The invasions are repeated, but the result is the same: Gaza is insurmountable for the invaders.
In turn, Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanua said: The complete withdrawal of the Zionist enemy forces from the Netzarim axis represents the completion of the failure of the goals of the genocidal war on the Palestinian people. He stressed that the return of displaced persons, the continuation of prisoner exchanges and the withdrawal from Netzarim refuted Netanyahu's lie and his illusion of achieving complete victory over the Palestinians and their valiant resistance.
He emphasized that all attempts by the Zionist enemy to extend military control over Gaza Strip and divide it have failed in the face of the valor of the resistance and the steadfastness of the Palestinian people.
He continued: "What the enemy did not achieve over 15 months of starvation, human genocide and systematic destruction by displacing our people, Trump will not achieve with real estate, brokerage and deals." He stressed that Gaza will remain a liberated land with the help of its people , its mujahideen and forbidden to the occupying invaders and any foreign power.
For its part, the government media office in Gaza said in a statement: "The enemy's withdrawal from Nitzarim will restore movement between the governorates of the Gaza Strip and will be one of the most important achievements of our people. Adding: The withdrawal from the Nitzarim axis will lift a heavy suffering from the people in Gaza, as the enemy has used the axis as a death trap, and more than 1,000 people have been martyred there.
The office expected an influx of aid workers and UNRWA employees after the Zionist enemy withdrew from the Netzarim axis."
International observers are following the movement of people and vehicles through Netzarim axis from the north and south after the enemy's withdrawal. The withdrawal included the evacuation of all mobile buildings, infrastructure, and military equipment of the enemy army.
This comes as part of the completion of the fifth phase of the exchange deal, on the 22nd day of its implementation.
Last night, videos taken by a number of Zionist soldiers inside Netzarim went viral, showing them burning equipment that is no longer needed, and one of them is heard saying: "We won't leave anything in Gaza."
The Zionist Broadcasting Corporation said: "The withdrawal will allow free passage between the south and north of Gaza Strip, along its entire length.
According to the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, which went into effect on January 19, by the 22nd day of the implementation of the agreement, Zionist forces will withdraw from central Gaza, including the Netzarim axis and the Kuwait roundabout, while completely dismantling military installations. The agreement also includes granting freedom of movement to Palestinians in all areas of the Gaza Strip and the continued return of displaced people to their places of residence.
The complete withdrawal of the Zionist army from the Netzarim axis in the center of Gaza Strip revealed the extensive destruction of Palestinian infrastructure, houses and facilities in the area.
Since the start of the Zionist ground military operations in Gaza, the areas surrounding the Netzarim axis, or Route 749 as the Zionist term is called, have witnessed a continuous wave of shelling and clashes, as the enemy army's engineering corps relied on it to facilitate access to military targets and as a center for command , control and directing forces penetrating into Gaza City.
The Netzarim axis extends from the Zionist entity's border from southeast of Gaza City to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, dividing the Gaza Strip into two parts, separating 14 kilometers of the northern Gaza Strip from 27 kilometers of the central and southern Gaza Strip.
The barrier is approximately 6.5 kilometers long and intersects with Salah al-Din Street, one of the two main roads connecting northern and southern Gaza, to create a strategic central intersection that connects to al-Rashid Road, which runs along Gaza's coastline.
Before the Zionist enemy withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Netzarim was one of the prominent Zionist settlements, but resistance attacks forced the enemy to leave.
According to Palestinian estimates, the enemy forces destroyed about 11 square kilometers of the total area of the Gaza Strip, which amounts to 365 kilometers, for the purpose of establishing the Netzarim checkpoint. This destroyed area includes agricultural lands and residential buildings with a total area of about 4.32 square kilometers, which Zionist bulldozers leveled to complete the construction of the checkpoint.
Political and military analysts believe that the Zionist enemy army's exploitation of the Netzarim axis, from which it withdrew this morning, as part of Gaza ceasefire understandings, was not a purely military tactic, but rather part of a broader strategy aimed at controlling Gaza Strip and resettling it.
Military experts say: The withdrawal of the Zionist enemy army from the Netzarim axis represents a strategic shift in the battle, as its plan to divide Gaza Strip and control its north failed. After the enemy established a permanent presence in the area, but was forced to retreat under the pressure of the battles and the pressure of political agreements.
The latest agreement forces the Zionist enemy to leave Netzarim permanently, and the enemy will not be able to stay in the Philadelphia axis or the buffer zone later. According to experts.
Regarding the possible repercussions of the withdrawal, experts believe that this will facilitate the movement of citizens, especially in light of the siege that was imposed due to the enemy's control of the axis, and that the withdrawal is not just a military step, but carries political and strategic dimensions, as it reflects the failure of the Zionist vision towards Gaza, emphasizes that the will of resistance and negotiation can impose new equations on the ground.
