      It’s like they keep getting concentrated into smaller and smaller areas under the pretense of security, hmm…

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Israeli forces struck densely populated areas across the middle and southern Gaza Strip in a midnight attack on Friday and early Saturday, killing at least 25 people amid fears of an impending push south by ground troops as pressure builds for a ceasefire deal.

    The overwhelming majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million people are displaced, according to the UN’s Office for Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha), with more than half the territory’s population now crowding into makeshift camps and on to the streets of Rafah city.

    Israel’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, said earlier this week during a visit to ground forces stationed in Khan Younis that they will “complete the mission” there before moving just a few miles south to Rafah.

    The UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees estimates that tens of thousands have fled Khan Younis in the past week, terrified of the deepening Israeli advance, now clustered along the border area that separates the southernmost part of Gaza from Egypt’s Sinai peninsula.

    The threat of a heightened assault on the last refuge for the majority of Gaza’s population has raised the stakes of ongoing talks intended to produce at least a temporary ceasefire agreement as well as the return of the Israeli hostages.

    They fiercely denied reports of disagreement within Hamas over the deal, despite impressions of a split between members of the political movement based in Doha and firebrand figures including Yahya Sinwar, who remains underground in the Gaza Strip, along with leaders of the group’s military wing.
