As Hamas Reclaims Khan Yunis, Israeli Officers Warn of Protracted Battle Ahead
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Four days after the IDF's withdrawal from Khan Yunis, alongside masses of residents returning to their destroyed homes, Hamas operatives have been seen beginning to reassert their control over the city. The internal security mechanisms of Hamas remain operational and instill fear among Gaza's civilians. In the bustling markets of Jabaliya in northern Gaza, Hamas operatives are currently maintaining order and preventing price gouging. In recent nights, over 60 Jordanian trucks, escorted by IDF military police, journeyed on the roads of Israel to the Nitzana crossing. After inspection, they continued to the Kerem Shalom crossing and into Gaza. Israeli security officials believe this and other aid is unnecessary. According to all security monitoring systems, there's no real famine in Gaza. Bakeries are full, and a humanitarian crisis is not expected. Israel shares daily images of Gaza's markets brimming with goods. Israeli officials are frustrated over the dramatic expansion of aid to nearly 500 truckloads daily from every possible direction, given to Hamas free of charge instead of as a key bargaining chip in a deal for the release of hostages in exchange for terrorists.
