💨 Abstract

Before the recent conflict, Gaza was one of the most densely populated areas, described by the UN as an "open-air prison." Israel's current "Gideon's Wagon" offensive aims to control the territory. Nearly 80% of Gaza has been ordered to evacuate or is militarized. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, plans to displace the entire Gaza population to the south. Israel claims that the operation targets Hamas and aims to free hostages.
