Thousands of displaced Palestinians began returning from the southern Gaza Strip toward the north via Al-Rashid Street on Friday, after the Israeli army announced that movement along Al-Rashid and Salah al-Din roads was permitted.
A ceasefire became effective immediately after Israel's approval, according to Israeli media.. Israel’s initial withdrawal from parts of Gaza City on Friday, Oct. 10, exposed the vast scale of destruction across residential neighborhoods and infrastructure, where entire districts have been reduced to rubble.
Footage shared by activists and journalists on social media revealed unprecedented devastation in areas vacated by Israeli forces, who are repositioning along the Yellow Line within the Gaza Strip under the framework of the ceasefire agreement.
The videos depicted harrowing scenes of flattened homes, shattered facilities, and bulldozed streets. One of the hardest-hit locations was the vicinity of the Saeed Siyam Mosque in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of northern Gaza City.
In that area, residential buildings were either completely demolished or left structurally uninhabitable due to heavy artillery shelling. The eastern section of Sheikh Radwan was similarly razed, with entire blocks wiped out and main roads torn apart.
Before beginning its phased pullback, the Israeli army reportedly conducted intense demolition and bombing operations across several neighborhoods, including Sheikh Radwan. The nearby tunnel area to the east also suffered widespread destruction, having already been targeted in previous operations.
