Gazans Return to Gaza City
(Washington Post) Hazem Balousha - As a ceasefire in Gaza takes hold, tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians headed home to Gaza City. Dramatic changes took place after Sep. 15, when Israel's military launched a push to occupy the city and demolished more than 14 towers, each at least 10 floors high. The Israeli military notified occupants shortly before bombing their buildings, often through social media or by calling some residents and telling them to spread the word. Israel said Hamas used them to deploy "intelligence-gathering systems, cameras, sniper and anti-tank firing positions, and in some structures established observational command rooms and command-and-control compounds."
