	Gaza Strip
		Gaza Strip, his first feature documentary, is an extraordinary and painful journey into the lives of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip struggling with the day-to-day trials of the Israeli occupation.
		The images in "Gaza Strip" are often as beautiful as they are disturbing, suggesting a continuous loop of the final freeze-frame image from Francois Truffaut's 1959 classic, "The 400 Blows," in which a young boy accuses the audience with his eyes when he realizes he is trapped between adult authorities and the ocean.
		"Gaza Strip" is the rare vehicle which gives the Palestinian people (rather than their failed, double-talking leadership) an opportunity to speak freely and openly, and that feat in itself makes this one of the most important documentaries of recent times.

	Gaza Strip (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Gaza was an important city in the 15th century BC, when the Egyptian king Thutmose III made it a base for his army in a war with Syria.
		In the 8th century BC it was conquered by the Assyrians; from the 3rd to the 1st century BC, Egyptian, Syrian, and Hebrew armies fought for its possession.
		Although the city of Gaza has bazaars and markets and some light industry, and the Gaza Strip is an established citrus producing area, the economy cannot support the large population, which has been aided by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.

	Gaza Strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Geographically, the Strip forms the westernmost portion of the Palestinian territories in Southwest Asia, having land borders with Egypt on the south-west and Israel on the north and east.

	Tunnel-Vision in Gaza - Middle East Quarterly
		Egypt would fully control the Philadelphi corridor and deploy one infantry division inside the Gaza Strip, i.e., about 15,000 Egyptian soldiers, to support Palestinian police efforts to counter Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other militias.
		Egypt's influence inside the Gaza Strip would be very limited, perhaps involving a few military, economic, and administrative advisers.
		It reflects the state of Egypt's relations with Israel and the Palestinians, and the situation in Egypt and Gaza itself, where sub-state actors, led by Islamists, have progressively eroded the authority of the Egyptian state and the PA. Smuggling and infiltration must be understood—and fought—in these broader contexts.

		If Gaza becomes a foreign country, Israel's military actions against could either be defended as consistent with the internationally recognized right to self-defense (Article 51 of the UN Charter) and governed by the law of proportionality and international humanitarian law, or condemned as armed aggression.

	Human Rights Watch - Mass Home Demolitions in the Gaza Strip
		In the case of Rafah, it is difficult to reconcile the IDF’s stated rationales with the widespread destruction that has taken place. On the contrary, the manner and pattern of destruction appears to be consistent with the plan to clear Palestinians from the border area, irrespective of specific threats.
		The IDF argues that an extensive network of smuggling tunnels from Egypt require incursions into Rafah that result in house demolitions. According to the IDF, a typical tunnel-hunting operation requires Israeli forces to destroy a house covering a tunnel exit as well as houses from which Palestinian gunmen fire at them during the operation.
		Rafah is not the only place where the IDF has extensively destroyed property in the name of security. Throughout the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces have created buffer zones near IDF bases, illegal settlements, and Israeli-only bypass roads by systematically leveling houses and agricultural fields.
