Deep dives
Israeli Operations in Gaza Continue Despite Pauses
Despite Israeli military announcements of pauses in operations in Gaza to allow aid entry, Palestinians reported little difference in the pace of attacks or aid availability. The destruction of infrastructure and homes by Israeli occupation forces continued at a steady pace, with Rafah experiencing intense ground operations. The mayor of Rafah stated that Israeli control extended to all parts of the city, leading to the destruction of the Rafah border crossing. Israeli soldiers were reported to have attacked Palestinians queuing for aid, resulting in casualties. The leaking of aid supplies and looting added to the challenges faced by residents.
