That’s not gunfire, that’s just the clatter of typewriters: I added English subtitles to the recent Israeli special police unit YAMAM video, when they broke into Abdullah Aljamal’s apartment (Palestinian Chronicle and Al Jazeera journalist from Nuseirat, Gaza Strip) and saved three hostages there

A thread by Seth Frantzman;

The reports that almost 1 million people have evacuated Rafah as the IDF operation has taken place there since May 6, in the wake of the Hamas attack on Kerem Shalom…shows that it was possible to get civilians to evacuate. It also shows something else

Israel has expanded greatly the number of crossings into Gaza since March. These include Gate 96 (Netzarim corridor), the Erez Crossing and Erez West Crossing (Zikim). The US put in place the temporary pier. There are now a lot of options for aid to reach central and northern Gaza.

This comes as the Rafah crossing from Egypt remains closed. Hamas used its control of that crossing to hijack humanitarian aid and likely to sell it or control it to make people suffer. Hamas wanted to exploit suffering to prevent the battle of Rafah, so Hamas could keep control of smuggling tunnels and weapons stockpiles.

The fact that so many people left Rafah, many of them already displaced from other areas of Gaza, reduces the strain on Kerem Shalom crossing and reduces the need for the Rafah crossing which Hamas wants to return to. This can potentially be a gamechanger.
