Satellite images have revealed that Egypt is bulldozing a sizable expanse of land, concurrently with the construction of a barrier in the buffer zone between Egyptian territory and the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The images provided by Maxar Technologies depict a significant deployment of bulldozers and construction machinery near the Egyptian-Gaza border.
Initiated on February 12, the construction work has been swiftly advancing, as reported by the Egyptian Sinai Foundation for Human Rights. The Foundation has observed the construction of a 7-meter-high cement wall, starting from Goz Abu Waad village, south of Rafah, and extending northward parallel to the Gaza Strip border, ultimately reaching the Mediterranean Sea.
