The Israeli military has reportedly used civilian contractors to demolish Palestinian homes and establish military engineering infrastructure in southern Gaza’s Rafah, Al Jazeera reports.

Civilian contractors were used in the Shaboura neighbourhood of the besieged city bordering Egypt, according to the Walla news website, which had its reporter embedded with the Israeli military in a tour of the area.

“The entire area can be described in one word: destruction. Destruction of infrastructure, roads, and the destruction of buildings,” the Israeli outlet said.
