To protect itself from Palestinian attacks, Israel has decided that any Gaza resident who is within 1000 feet of the border with Israel can be shot by the Israeli army. Since January, 12 have been shot, three of whom have died.
The border area is sacrosanct, the UN's FAO can't visit, NGOs can't visit, farmers can't visit. Yet, the area contains 30% of the arable land in Gaza. It has been difficult to import food in Gaza. Now, the indigenous food supply has been cut by almost one-third.
Another example of winning hearts and minds. Another concession we make to Israel.
