Before-and-after satellite images from April 7 and April 23 show the construction of two camps near the cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah in southern Gaza, according to Maxar, a space technology company based in Colorado that captured the images.

The images show a site in a rural area southeast of Khan Yunis and a second site about two miles south, in a rural area outside Rafah.

The camps were constructed ahead of an expected Israeli invasion of Rafah. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Israeli military “has said it plans to move Gazans to humanitarian enclaves to be constructed within the Gaza Strip, which would include food, water, shelter and medical services.” Credit: Maxar via Storyful

There’s a trap for Britain in Ireland’s Brexit hypocrisy
A couple of years ago, I noted in passing on Twitter (as it then was) that there was an international border between the UK and Ireland on the island of Ireland. To my surprise, Irish nationalists piled in to deny this objective legal reality. I couldn’t help recalling George Orwell’s comment that, for nationalists, “a known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside … or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted as a fact.”
