The Palestinians are an Arab national group from the Southern Levant, predominantly the modern State of Israel.
Palestinians are predominantly Sunni Muslims, thought there are a minority of Christian and Shia Palestinians, as well as Druze and Samaritians that identify as Palestinian. There is dispute about when the Palestinian identity coalesced, be it in the post- or pre-war periods, and if it was an internal development or in direct response to the zionist movement.
The war that established Israel between Jewish and Arab forces resulted in a mass displacement of Palestinian Arabs. There is a significant diaspora of Palesitnians, especially in neighbouring Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. 20% of Israeli citizens are Arabs, of which many also identify as Palestinian. Many Diaspora Palesitnians, as well as those from families displaced from beyond the 1948 armistice lines, identify as refugees.
Many Palestinian political movements lay claim to all the land of Israel as the future Palestinian state. The Palestinian Authority is one of the pirmary bodies that governs the Palestinians, with varying degrees of control in the West Bank. Palestinians have autonomy in Gaza, which is under the rule of Hamas.
Solving the broader refugee problem would pave the way for more countries to make peace with Israel and would expand the accords more rapidly.
According to testimonies from soldiers in the field, Thursday night was one of the most intense since the beginning of the operation.
GHF stated that two Palestinians were ill from issues unrelated to facility security, that two food sites were operational, and had handed out 840,262 meals.
There are two more food centers on the way, although this still leaves one million Palestinians getting aid from UN.
The jurists claim that a 2003 Memorandum, which is set to renew for another five years next month, is in "blatant, deliberate, systematic, and intersectional violation of humanitarian law."
The GHF said that though using private security firms represents a change from prior aid delivery frameworks, it would ensure aid is not diverted to Hamas or criminal organizations.
The IDF has not commented on the strikes.
The AP reported Saturday night that a Gazan man, Ayman Abu Hamadan, told them that he was used as a lookout for Israeli soldiers.
Bruchin is the village where Na'al Samara, the terrorist who murdered Tzeela Gez a week and a half ago, came from.
Post-1948, Arab regimes weaponized the Palestinian cause. Lacking organic legitimacy, they turned anti-Israel hostility into a survival mechanism.
