With Israel on the cusp of claiming full control of northern Gaza, terrorists are holding on to Shejaiya with everything they have, in the embattled neighborhood, littered with booby traps and explosive charges, several of which have exacted a very heavy toll from Israeli forces

Opinion: Administration concerned over Israel's intent to keep forces in northern part of Strip, Netanyahu's position on the PA's role there and settler violence on the West Bank, all to be elements in PM's political campaign to remain in power

Opinion: Facing years of scrutiny and misconceptions, Israel defends itself in battle and public opinion; committed to justice, it aims to dismantle Hamas, all while ensuring humanitarian aid reaches Gaza's civilians
