A Palestinian man died on Wednesday from wounds suffered two days earlier when an Israeli drone strike hit a tent sheltering displaced people in Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp, according to local reports. The strike, which occurred despite an ongoing truce between Israel and Hamas, injured three other people [255033].

The attack comes as aid groups warn that Israel is carrying out a "policy of protracted displacement" in Gaza. The Danish Refugee Council says Israel is moving the so-called "Yellow Line" westward toward the coast — a line marking a zone that Palestinians cannot enter. According to the aid group, the line's movement is preventing many displaced people from returning to their homes [254328].

The strike on the tent shelter in Jabalia is the latest incident to test the ceasefire at a time when thousands of displaced families remain unable to return to their homes.
