Israel Completes Gaza Withdrawal

HeadlineJan 21, 2009

The Israeli government says it’s withdrawn the last of its troops from the Gaza Strip. It’s widely speculated the move was timed to avoid the possibility of any criticism from President Obama after he took office.

The twenty-two-day assault killed more than 1,300 Palestinians, most of them civilians and at least one-third children.
