AI Summary
An Israeli organization secretly coordinated mysterious evacuation flights that transported Palestinians out of Gaza, according to an Associated Press investigation. The AP discovered the Israeli group's role in organizing these flights, which had previously been unexplained departures from the territory.

The disclosure sheds new light on behind-the-scenes coordination between Israeli and Palestinian parties during the ongoing conflict. The AP's findings answer questions about who was facilitating these previously unaccounted-for evacuations from the besieged territory.
