Arafat returns to Gaza after decades in exile

Arafat returns to Gaza after decades in exile. This event belongs in the Gaza/Hamas/Israel chronology because it marks a discrete action, decision, attack, legal ruling, diplomatic move, or accountability moment around PA formation in Gaza. The record should be sourced as a singular event and kept separate from broader background explainers.
