On May 17, 2025, during the 77th commemoration of the Nakba, Israel launched its most ferocious escalation in Gaza since the collapse of the ceasefire deal in March. Israel called up sixty thousand reservists over the following days. Warplanes screamed overhead. Missiles rained down on neighbourhoods already reduced to rubble. The objective was unmistakable: force
