"If there's one thing Israeli politicians are agreed on, it is that there will be no independent sovereign Palestinian state," Nadia Hijab, board president of al-Shabaka, a Palestinian think-tank, told Al Jazeera.

The decade-long Palestinian split looks set to deepen in the coming months, with president Mahmud Abbas poised to take multiple measures against Gaza to squeeze its Islamist rulers Hamas.

Israeli authorities demolished 16 shops, affecting the livelihood of more than 60 families in the refugee camp.

Alaa Tartir, programme advisor at Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network, believes the latest escalation by Israel was meant to "retest" the capabilities of armed groups in Gaza, which include Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades.
