Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed 15 months ago that Israel would achieve “total victory” in the war in Gaza — by eradicating Hamas and freeing all the hostages

Displaced Palestinians spoke to CNN about their return to northern Gaza after months in exile in the south of the enclave, amid the Israel-Hamas war. A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has halted fighting in Gaza in exchange for Israeli hostages.

More than 375,000 Palestinians have crossed into northern Gaza since Israel allowed their return on Monday morning, the United Nations said Tuesday. That represents over a third of the million people who fled the north in the war’s first weeks.
