3 Dec 2025\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0In Gaza, surveillance has become as relentless as the bombing. In \u201cWatched, Tracked, and Targeted in Gaza,\u201d<\/em> author Mohammed R. Mhawish,<\/em> describes how Israeli forces use cameras, drones and digital tracking to monitor \u2014 and control \u2014 every move of Palestinians. The piece pulls back the curtain on a system where daily life, flight and survival are no longer private. If you want to understand what modern conflict means for human dignity \u2014 this story is essential.<\/p>\n

As I read through this, more than a few points hit especially hard. Here are some of them:<\/p>\n

\u201cLife in Gaza \u2026 means losing what cannot be seen: the private space of the mind, the intimacy between people, and the ability to speak without fear of being monitored by a machine.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe campaign of mass killing \u2026 operated, too, through a system of watching, knowing, and collecting us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is so much more \u2014 Mhawish spent 16 months reporting for this story, and it shows. This is a must-share article.<\/p>\n

You can find their work on Substack<\/a>, where they\u2019ve published incredible on-the-ground reporting from Gaza. I\u2019ve added this article there as well.<\/p>\n
