On the receiving end of Operation Pillar of Defense
Photojournalist Ahmed Deeb recently returned to his home in the Gaza Strip after photographing the fighting in Aleppo, Syria. This week, the Israel-Hamas conflict landed at his doorstep and he has since been documenting the impact of the bombing on Gaza on his fellow Palestinians. What follows is a selection of what one photographer is seeing from inside Gaza.
Israel's latest operation, Pillar of Defense, officially launched on 14 November with the assassination of Ahmed al-Jabari, the head of Hamas’ military wing. Since then, Israeli airstrikes have hit hundreds of targets across Gaza, destroying homes and killing dozens of Palestinians, many of them civilians.
Overnight between Friday and Saturday, the Israeli military claims to have hit some 200 targets in the strip and has called up 75,000 reservists in the event of a ground invasion.
