Israel Does Not Want to Stop the War in Gaza. It Is Building Military Bases in Gaza
World
According to a New York Times analysis based on satellite imagery, in recent months, Israeli forces have demolished over 600 buildings in Gaza and expanded their network of bases to create a "security zone."
According to Israeli officials and satellite images, the Israeli military has been expanding its presence in central Gaza, fortifying military bases, and demolishing Palestinian buildings.
These actions suggest that Israel may be preparing to establish long-term control over the area.
Since the early months of the war in Gaza, Israeli forces have occupied a four-mile road, known as the Netzarim corridor, that divides Gaza, to prevent hundreds of thousands of displaced Gazans from returning north. This has slowly grown into an 18-square-mile area controlled by Israeli forces, according to the Israeli military and a New York Times analysis of satellite imagery.
Over the past three months, soldiers have demolished more than 600 buildings around the road in an apparent attempt to create a security zone. They have also rapidly expanded a network of outposts equipped with communication towers and defensive fortifications.
