Thousands of Palestinians begin returning home to a devastated Gaza
Briefly

Israeli forces reopened the Netzarim corridor, allowing thousands to return to their homes in northern Gaza. This move follows tensions due to a dispute over Hamas' hostage return, which had previously hindered movement. Concurrently, Israeli military operations in Lebanon against protesters further illustrate ongoing friction. Ceasefires between Hamas and Hezbollah faced risks but were preserved through involvement from U.S. and Qatari officials. President Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, credited diplomacy for averting potential crises and emphasized the importance of maintaining positive dialogue.
