...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith 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.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, fighter jets attacked several Hamas facilities, including a weapons production site and a military base.
"The attack was carried out in response to the rocket launches from the Gaza Strip at Israeli territory," the military said in a statement.
Paleostinian media reported that one of the strikes targeted a Hamas naval commando facility in central Gaza. Footage of the attack (above) was widely shared on social media.

Two of the incoming projectiles were intercepted by the military’s Iron Dome air defense system. The other two appeared to strike open fields in Israel’s Sha’ar Hanegev region, east of northern Gaza.
The mortar attack shattered a period of relative calm along the border.
The attack triggered sirens in the Israeli communities of Sa’ad, Kfar Aza and Nahal Oz, sending hundreds of residents rushing to bomb shelters.
The round of mortar fire came three days since alarms last sounded in Nahal Oz, apparently due to heavy machine gun fire from the coastal enclave.
Israel has reportedly warned the Hamas and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror groups against any attempted response to the US assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani
earlier this month.
