One year since Gaza, a photo a day: July 20, 2014
This is part of a series of daily posts showing photos taken on the same date a year ago, during “Operation Protective Edge,” last summer’s assault on Gaza. Members of the ActiveStills collective documented what was happening at that time inside Gaza, Israel and the West Bank.
Most of the photos that we will publish here over the next month and a half were published on +972 in real time. The average Israeli news consumer, however, did not get the full picture of the death and destruction that was taking place in Gaza, or the popular resistance against the war taking place in the West Bank and Israel. For most Israelis, the Palestinian victims had neither names nor stories.

In the night between the 19 and 20 of July, Israeli ground forces invade Shejaiya neigborhood. As a result, 13 Israeli soldiers were killed along with around 100 Palestinians, including 14 women and 17 children. (Basel Yazouri/Activestills.org)
