Satellite photos show new demolition along a 1-kilometer-deep path on the Gaza Strip’s border with Israel. The destruction comes as Israel has said it wants to establish a buffer zone there, further tearing away at land the Palestinians want for a state over international objections. The demolition along the path represents only a sliver of the wider damage from the war seen in the Gaza Strip, which one assessment suggests has damaged or destroyed half of all the buildings within the coastal enclave. But independent analysts and an Associated Press assessment of the damage along the path suggests Israel may be moving forward with its proposed buffer zone, despite U.S. warnings not to occupy land in Gaza Strip.
