Gaza Preparing for War with Israel
(Foreign Policy) Bel Trew - The fighters in Gaza are preparing for a new war every day. "Many of the men have moved underground," says Abu Mujahid, 40, a commander in the Nasser Salahuddin Brigade of the Popular Resistance Committees. "There are people right now under your feet," his second-in-command, Abu Saif, 28, adds. Yet for all the bluster, the fighters begrudgingly acknowledge that the civilian population probably cannot weather another war. Eight months after the last war, Gaza is still flattened. Most Gaza residents have just three to six hours of electricity a day. The water in the taps is salty because seawater has infiltrated the coastal aquifer. Sewage is openly flowing onto the beaches.
