RAFAH, Gaza Strip – The armed convoy of jeeps filled with reporters rumbled into a dusty Rafah, passing flattened houses and battered apartment buildings.
The Israeli invasion was intended to destroy Hamas and free its hostages. So far, it has accomplished neither. Palestinians who fled the city have no idea when they will return and what they will find when they do. The military showed us photos of cameras positioned around a neighbourhood, which officials said allowed Hamas to monitor Israeli forces and plan attacks against them. Israeli soldiers say they found Hamas fighting kits scattered in many homes, along with advanced weapons like Russian-made surface-to-air missiles.
