KHAN YOUNIS — Hundreds of thousands fled here from the north on whatever could carry them — cars if there was fuel, horse and cart if one could be found, their own feet if there was no other option.And what they found was a city on its knees, ill-prepared for its population to literally double overnight.Every room, every alley, every street is packed with men, women and the young. And there is nowhere else to go.Hamas say 400,000 of the 1.1 million people who call northern Gaza home headed south down the Salah al-Din Road in the last 48 hours, following Israel's order to leave.For many, the threat of Israel's bombs and impending invasion -- which comes after gunmen from Gaza killed 1,300 in Israel -- cancels out Hamas's order to stay put.But in this narrow strip of land,...

JERUSALEM — The footage is from the last two years, but it is chillingly prescient. In a December 2022 video, Hamas fighters can be seen flooding a training area, shooting rockets and capturing pretend prisoners as they surround mock Israeli buildings.The camp, CNN analysis shows, had just been constructed, and was very close to Erez Crossing, the pedestrian passageway between Gaza and Israel that Hamas fighters ultimately breached last weekend in a bloody attack which killed over 1,200 people in Israel.Another video taken more than a year ago, shows Hamas fighters practicing take-offs, landings and assaults with paragliders – the same unusual assault mode that Hamas deployed with lethal effect in the same Oct. 7 attack.A CNN investigation has analysed almost two years of training and...
