Israel Gains Control of Gaza-Egypt Border Amid Conflict
TL;DR
An Al Jazeera investigation reveals that Israel has taken over 32% of Gaza's territory by demolishing neighborhoods to create a buffer zone and a central axis, displacing 1.9 million people. The destruction has been extensive, with 80-90% of the 120 sq km area taken being demolished. The UN and US have opposed permanent changes to Gaza's territorial composition, but bulldozing and removal operations continue.
