Long walk home: Palestinians march on foot to north Gaza
Briefly

Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have begun to return to northern Gaza following a fragile ceasefire and nearly 15 months of intense conflict. This return marks their first homecoming since being displaced by heavy bombardments and fighting. Despite previous fears of permanent exodus issues, including potential ethnic cleansing encouraged by international suggestions, many are eager to return to their damaged homes. In this context, Hamas proclaimed a symbolic victory in the struggle against Israeli occupation, while Israel had previously enforced an evacuation of the region early in the war to facilitate military operations.
The return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza marks a significant moment amid ongoing tensions, reflecting both a fragile ceasefire and the aftermath of devastation.
Hamas declared the return of those displaced as a victory for Palestinians, contrasting it with what they termed a defeat for Israeli occupation plans.
