Since reviving its conflict with Hamas, Israel has expanded its control in the Gaza Strip to over 50%, forcing Palestinians into tightly packed areas. Key regions, including a growing buffer zone along the Gaza border, have suffered extensive destruction of homes and farmland, raising concerns among human rights advocates and local experts about long-term Israeli occupation strategies. Prime Minister Netanyahu has firmly suggested that Israel intends to maintain security oversight even post-conflict, with reports from deployed soldiers confirming the systematic destruction aimed at preventing Palestinian return.
