Blumtal, we're moving forward with this, and footage has already been released showing how it's happening on the ground.

Right, the IDF has effectively already begun, since the afternoon, to thin out forces in the Gaza Strip.

We'll see the footage shortly, but we can already see IDF vehicles starting to move out from deep inside the Strip.

We can see armored personnel carriers and tanks.

Already in the afternoon the IDF effectively began withdrawing heavy assets, mainly antennas, fortifications, and logistical infrastructure.

Across the yellow line as part of the preparations for implementing the agreement.

And in the coming hours the IDF will begin to bring to the yellow line all forces that are inside the Gaza Strip.

We're now showing on screen the map, the plan.

This is what the IDF's withdrawal looks like, stage by stage.

First of all, the initial stage — the first withdrawal line, the yellow line.

This will happen to allow the release of the hostages within 72 hours.

After that, probably months later, the red line.

And then the buffer zone.

If we want to talk about the yellow line, let's briefly discuss what that means.

The IDF is effectively taking up rear positions.

Coming out of Gaza City, coming out along the Netzarim route.

We can see that the IDF still controls more than 50% of the Gaza Strip.

And also holds the northern sector: Beit Hanoun, the Pich area.

Part of Khan Yunis and, of course, the Philadelphi route.

The next phase, the red line.

We don't know when this will happen, but it will be after the establishment of an international force.

A foreign force involving many, many actors.

Americans, Qataris, Egyptians, Turks, Americans, of course.

And once they begin operations, Tzal will start transferring responsibility to them.

Where Tzal will remain after the full withdrawal.

This will take a lot more time; it hasn't been discussed at all yet.

First of all, a buffer zone around the entire Gaza Strip.

The Seventy Ridge, a strategic position that commands Gaza City.

But it also overlooks Israeli communities.

And the Philadelphi route, of course.

It should be said that once Tzal withdraws at the end of the first phase

Withdrawal from the yellow line; Tzal will have no forces on the Netzarim route.

And that means Palestinians will be able to return to Gaza City and to the northern Gaza Strip.
