Israeli military infiltrates Gaza’s border, raze farmland

24-12-2021

Israeli military today infiltrated Gaza’s border, to the east of Beit Lahia town, and razed farmlands, according to WAFA correspondent. He said that the several Israeli military tanks and bulldozers advanced several dozens of meters to the east of the town, and razed a strawberry-planted field belonging to a local farmer, inflicting heavy losses on him. Fourteen years following the Israeli “disengagement” from Gaza, Israel has not actually disengaged from Gaza; it still maintains control of its land borders, access to the sea and airspace. Two million Palestinians live the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a punishing and crippling Israeli blockade for 12 years and repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the enclave’s infrastructure. Gaza’s 2-million population remains under “remote control” occupation and a strict siege, which has destroyed the local economy, strangled Palestinian livelihoods, plunged them into unprecedented rates of unemployment and poverty, and cut off from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider world. Gaza remains occupied territory, having no control over its borders, territorial waters or airspace. Meanwhile, Israel upholds very few of its responsibilities as the occupying power, failing to provide for the basic needs of Palestinian civilians living in the territory.
