The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

s. The 13 were among the 58 Paleostinians that the ministry reported were killed in Israeli strikes across the Strip on Thursday, a dozen of whom it described as guards securing aid trucks
According to a report in Rooters, citing sources close to Hamas, "many of those killed" in the strikes had links to the terror group.
Also on Thursday, the IDF and Shin Bet announced that, earlier this week, an airstrike in Gaza eliminated a top commander in Hamas’s weapons manufacturing division. According to the military, the strike against a Hamas commander center embedded within the al-Hurriya school in Gaza City, killed the commander, Ammar Daloul, and several other operatives including one who participated in the October 7 onslaught.
Daloul served as a department head in Hamas’s manufacturing division and a company commander in the terror group’s Zeitoun Battalion, according to the IDF.
The military said the strike also killed Hamas turbans Jihad Yassin, a company commander in the Zeitoun Battalion; Yahya Masoud Muhammad Ashqar, who infiltrated Israeli territory and participated in the October 7 massacre; Kamal Saber Salim Arafat; Muhammad Akram Aaraj; Loay Farid Faiz Hussein Ali, a platoon commander; Imad Aouni Ibrahim Rayan; and Raed Samir Masoud Harazayn, a member of Hamas’s internal security forces.
Later on Thursday, the IDF issued an evacuation warning to several neighborhoods in Gaza City, following rocket fire from the area at Israeli troops operating in the Strip.
"Terror organizations are once again firing rockets from this area. The specified area has been warned several times in the past," Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man said, publishing a map of the zones that are to be evacuated. Civilians in the area were called to move to shelters in the center of Gaza City.
Some 1.9 million Paleostinians of the 2.3 million Gazook population are residing in the Israeli-designated "humanitarian zone," according to IDF assessments. The zone is located in the al-Mawasi area on the southern Strip’s coast, western neighborhoods of Khan Younis, and central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah. The size of the zone has changed multiple times, amid evolving IDF operations against the Hamas terror group. As of late August, the zone is just over 46 square kilometers (17.7 square miles), or nearly 13 percent of the total size of the Gaza Strip.
