It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

operatives surrendered to troops and provided intelligence on a major tunnel in the area, which was then demolished.
The two Hamas terror operatives were captured by soldiers of the 188th Armored Brigade and handed over to the Shin Bet. During their interrogation, the military said the pair provided "significant intelligence, pointing to the location of underground infrastructure in the area."
The tunnel, which was located shortly afterward in Rafah’s Shaboura camp, served "key terrorists" in Hamas, the IDF said.
Combat engineers of the elite Yahalom unit mapped out the tunnel, which spanned around a kilometer and was some 25 meters below ground. The military said the tunnel featured rooms to reside in, a bathroom, a kitchenette, blast doors and several entrance shafts.
The tunnel was then demolished, the army added.

Two IDF soldiers killed, six wounded in southern Gaza fighting
[IsraelTimes] Sgt. Yishai Elyakim Urbach, 20, and Staff Sgt. Yam Frid, 21, named as fallen troops; terrorist who took Yaffa Adar hostage killed in airstrike; IAF hits 150 targets in 72 hours
Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed on Thursday, and at least six were wounded in separate incidents amid fighting in the southern Gaza Strip, the military announced.
The soldiers were named Friday morning as Sgt. Yishai Elyakim Urbach, 20, of the Combat Engineering Corps’ 605th Battalion, from Zichron Yaakov, and Staff Sgt. Yam Frid, 21, of the Golani Brigade’s reconnaissance unit, from Sal’it.
In the first incident, Hamas operatives fired an RPG at a building in Rafah’s Jenina neighborhood, where troops were stationed. The building partially collapsed on the soldiers, killing Urbach and wounding two others, including one seriously and one moderately.
During the second incident, which took place some two hours later in the same area, an armored personnel carrier was hit by an explosive device, killing Frid and wounding four others, including three soldiers — among them two officers — listed in serious condition.
In statements on Telegram, Hamas claimed its operatives ambushed an Israeli 12-man force inside a house in the Tanur neighborhood in the eastern Rafah area (adjacent to Jenina) with two RPGs, and set off an explosive device next to troops nearby.
The incidents brought Israel’s death toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip to 418.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza reported nearly 200 dead over the course of the three days.
PALESTINIAN DEPORTED FROM ISRAEL KILLED IN AIRSTRIKE IN GAZA
Additionally, a Palestinian man deported from Israel to Gaza in February was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Rafah, the Arab48 news site reported Thursday.
Basel al-Qur’an, 28, was born in Deir al-Balah but spent his entire adult life in Israel, until he was sent back to the Strip when he completed a prison sentence for traffic violations.
Al-Qur’an’s mother Marwa told the outlet Wednesday that she was notified of her son’s death by one of the people he had been staying with in the Strip. His corpse was taken to Gaza European Hospital in Khan Younis for identification. It was unclear when al-Qur’an was killed.
Al-Qur’an was born to an Arab Israeli mother and an Egyptian father in Gaza. As an adolescent, upon his parents’ divorce, he moved with his mother to Israel, where he spent his entire adult life.
Though his mother, wife and children are Israeli citizens, al-Qur’an was never able to obtain permanent residency or citizenship in Israel due to a 2003 law largely barring Palestinians married to Israeli citizens from naturalization.
Israel plans to resume providing aid to the Strip by using private American security contractors to secure aid distribution hubs within the Strip. According to officials briefed on the plan, five to six thousand vetted representatives will be allowed to travel on foot to the aid hubs once every two weeks in order to pick up a roughly 40-pound box of food for their families.
