A Palestinian man walks past the rubble after Israeli forces withdrew from the area around Kamal Adwan hospital, amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip October 26, 2024.

Israel’s army has already split the Gaza Strip into two zones, and the IDF claims the northern part is now devoid of Palestinian civilians. Opponents decry this as "ethnic cleansing." While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not publicized the next steps, there’s speculation annexation and Jewish settlements will soon follow.
