The Future of Stalag Gaza

Throughout Gaza, the Israeli military’s destruction of homes and seizure of land is an ominous sign for the future of the Strip. Obaid’s wife, who was displaced to a camp in Deir Al-Balah, told him that “watchtowers and cameras were deployed all along the [coastal] road, and … quadcopters and reconnaissance planes are monitoring the area and preventing citizens from returning to the north.” As Israel expands and cements this military architecture, Obaid observed, “it’s as if Gaza is entirely under their control.”
