Thousands of displaced Palestinians return to shattered northern Gaza

LA Times  

An aerial photograph taken by a drone shows displaced Palestinians returning to their homes in the northern Gaza Strip, following Israel’s decision to allow thousands to go back for the first time since the early weeks of the war with Hamas. Tens of thousands of Palestinians streamed into Gaza’s most heavily destroyed area on Monday under a fragile cease-fire after Israel opened the north for the first time since the early weeks of the 15-month war with Hamas. “We had thought we wouldn’t return, like our ancestors.” The opening was delayed for two days over a dispute between Hamas and Israel, which said the militant group changed the order of the hostages it released in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Defense Minister Israel Katz said anyone violating the cease-fire or threatening Israeli forces “will bear the full cost.” Israel’s military has warned Palestinians not to approach its forces, which have withdrawn to buffer zones inside Gaza.
