North Gaza sees triple the number of attacks on Israeli forces compared with south
Undermining reports by Israel that fighting in Gaza City’s Zaitoun area was small in scale on Tuesday, two war monitors said that Palestinian fighters claimed to have carried out 16 attacks on Israeli forces – including one involving a missile from an F-16 jet fighter that was rigged as an improvised explosive device.
Palestinian fighters in Zaitoun, in Gaza’s north, claimed to have carried out three times more attacks on Tuesday against Israeli forces than their colleagues fighting against Israeli forces in the southern Khan Younis area, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP) said.
The ISW and CTP – both US-based think tanks – also report that Israel’s military is constructing three “forward operating bases” near the location of a road which is being built to divide the northern part of the Gaza Strip from the south. Citing reports from Israeli journalists embedded with Israel’s military in Gaza, the monitors said the plan is to dissect the Strip with a “well-controlled [Israeli military] highway”.
The road and forward operating bases were said to allow for “at least another year” of Israeli operations in Gaza, the ISW and CTP said in their latest report.

Jordan’s King takes part in air force airdrop over Gaza
King Abdullah II joined crews dropping aid into the devastated Gaza Strip from onboard a Jordanian Air Force plane on Tuesday. The Reuters news agency reported that King Abdullah said that humanitarian aid to Gaza must be doubled to prevent a deterioration in a hunger crisis affecting more than 2 million people in the war-torn territory.
A senior UN aid official has told the Security Council that widespread famine could be “almost inevitable” without action and that at least 576,000 people in the Gaza Strip – one-quarter of the population – are one step away from famine.
Jordan, which the UN and Western donors have turned into a regional hub for humanitarian supplies to Gaza, has carried flights, along with the French army, to drop food to thousands of displaced people sheltering on the beach in Gaza.

Your turn Biden...
Michigan ‘uncommitted’ vote against US support for Gaza war shows early strength
With 14 percent of the votes counted in the Midwestern state’s Democratic presidential primary, more than 20,000 people have voted “uncommitted” to protest Biden’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
Palestinian rights supporters say the early results are a stark warning for Biden. Trump won the Republican primary in Michigan – a key swing state – by fewer than 11,000 votes. The “uncommitted” campaign is on course to receive more than 100,000 votes, according to observers.
“This shows that everything we’ve been warning about since early October is true,” Abed Ayoub, the executive director at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), tells Al Jazeera.
