이스라엘, 가자지구에서 수천명의 병력 철수할 것 Israel says it will pull out thousands of troops from Gaza, with Washington interpreting the move as the beginning of a gradual transition to “low-intensity operations.“ Hamas fired dozens of rockets into Israel on New Year's Day, further raising tensions in the region. Lee Seung-jae reports. The Israeli military says it plans to pull thousands of troops out of the Gaza Strip. A statement released Monday said five brigades, or several thousand troops, were being taken out of Gaza for training and rest. Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari did not say whether the pullback meant the armed conflict was entering a new phase. However, according to a U.S. official, Israel's decision to withdraw some of its troops from the Gaza Strip is a signal that it's beginning a gradual transition to “low-intensity operations.“ The official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, added that the decision to pull out troops is a reflection of the success Israel has had in its fight against Hamas. Meanwhile,.. the chief of the Israel Defense Forces' Southern Command says the fight in Gaza “will continue in a variety of methods, in a variety of intensities, and in varying forms.“ He says the shift in strategy will make it “difficult for the enemy to pinpoint them and understand them.“ At the stroke of midnight marking New Year's Day, Hamas fired at least 27 rockets at the south and center of Israel. According to Israel's military, its air defense system intercepted 18 rockets, while 9 of them fell in open areas. In a video published on social media, Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack from Gaza, saying it had fired M90 rockets in “response to the massacres of civilians“ carried out by Israel.
