Description
Environmental Warfare in Gaza: A New Landscape of Resistance The Israeli occupation of Gaza has led to the creation of a sophisticated system of fences, forts, and surveillance technologies around the occupied territory. This has resulted in the establishment of military no-go areas, or 'buffer zones', which extend deep into Palestinian residential areas and farmlands, further isolating Gaza from the rest of Palestine. The bulldozing of Palestinian lands by Israeli occupation forces has been complemented by unannounced aerial spraying of military herbicides, which has destroyed entire swaths of arable land in Gaza, changing the landscape and providing the Israeli army with better visibility to fire at Palestinian targets. This book presents a vivid document of the latest stage of Israeli warfare in Gaza, featuring original maps, images, and visualizations that reveal the environmental and human impact of this violence. It includes new documents, archival materials, drone footage, first-hand testimonies from farmers, organizers, and protesters, and records of affected vegetation in Gaza, providing a unique perspective on the effects of settler-colonial violence.
