‘Genocide stopped only in media’: Gaza endures daily bombings a month into truce by Maha Hussaini

Beyond the daily bombardments and killings, Gaza residents also face the constant menace of Israeli drones.

In parts of Gaza City, drones broadcast threatening messages, ordering locals to “hand over bodies” of Israeli captives and playing disturbing sounds – including ambulance sirens – late at night.

“The last time I heard the drone was three days ago, right above my house,” said Anas Moeen, 30. 

“There’s something deliberate about the recordings they broadcast,” he added. 

“They are incomplete, distorted, and unclear – I think that’s intentional to spread panic and anxiety.”

Moeen added that their presence during the ceasefire is clearly meant to unsettle residents and send a message: the army is close and still watching.
