Byzantine Mosaic, Bureij refugee camp, Gaza Strip, Palestine,
5th to 7th centuries AD,
Salman al-Nabahin, a Palestinian farmer, unearthed the mosaic pavement, thought to date from the fifth to the seventh century AD, while working in his olive orchard in Bureij refugee camp, about half a mile from the border with Israel.
Trying to understand why some trees had not properly taken root, Nabahin said he and his son began digging. Then the son’s axe hit something hard and unfamiliar in appearance.
The Palestinian ministry of tourism and antiquities said the mosaic included several panels depicting animals and other features of social life during the Byzantine era, the continuation of the Roman empire in eastern provinces from the fifth century.
Gaza is rich in antiquities, having been an important trading spot for civilisations dating as far back as the ancient Egyptians and the Philistines depicted in the Bible, to the Roman empire and the Crusades from the 11th to the 13th centuries.
Several discoveries have been made in recent years. Due to a lack of funds and expertise, Gaza has usually invited international groups to help with the process of excavation and preservation.

How is the war on Gaza NOT a war on Palestinian children - Palestine's future?
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNWRA) says it found the massive explosives inside schools after Israeli forces withdrew from Gaza’s city of Khan Younis.
Punching down is all Israelis can rise to, as they benefit from US cover. Israelis planted bombs inside kids schools.

In 2002, after the IDF went into Jenin and destroyed the terrorist infrastructure in fierce fighting with heavy casualties on both sides, the Israeli housing minister offered to rebuild the camp elsewhere where residents could have larger houses and wider roads - to live like normal people in their land.
The idea was vehemently rejected.  
One of the self-appointed leaders of the camp said that the Israeli offer to rebuild everything better was really a plot "to erase the camps from existence, because these camps as a political reality constitute living testaments to the Nakba of the Palestinian people." (source, page 128)
That's exactly it. The camps are considered an important symbol of "resistance," not a place where human beings actually live. When UNRWA wanted to rebuild the camps and widen the roads, the same self-appointed leaders again opposed the plan, because wider roads meant the IDF could more easily enter. UNRWA and the committee remained at an impasse for months before the actual camp residents got their own committee together and said they wanted the UNRWA plan. The residents committee head said:
If we left it to debate we would have needed another five years. We agreed with the UNRWA plan. The families I meet now are happier and they are happy with the roads. If the Israeli army uses the road once (a day), we use it 100 times a day.

Hamas health ministry: Israeli attack on the Jabalia refugee camp
A Gaza health ministry spokesman said two Israeli strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp killed more than 80 people on Saturday.
UN officials said the school had sheltered thousands of displaced Palestinians and Martin Griffiths condemned the “tragic news of the children, women and men killed.”
Civilians cannot and should not have to bear this any longer. Humanity needs to prevail.
“At least 50 people” were killed in a dawn strike on the UN-run Al-Fakhura school in the camp, a ministry spokesman told AFP news agency.
Social media videos confirmed by AFP showed bodies covered in blood and dust on the floor of one of the buildings, where mattresses had been pushed under school desks.
