Tel Aviv | Israel is preparing to test an experimental model for running postwar Gaza, by creating a series of “bubbles” that are designed to be Hamas-free but have been met with incredulity by many people briefed on the plans.

The pilot scheme for the “humanitarian enclaves” – a template for what Israel imagines would follow the war – will soon be launched in the northern Gaza neighbourhoods of Atatra, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, according to six people with knowledge of the plan.
