""reshaping how people speak, how they're moving, how they're even thinking,""
""It manufactured behavior for people, so they shrink their lives to reduce risk, they rehearse what version of themselves feels safest to present, and that creates an enormous psychological burden.""
""I was being watched and tracked,""
Israeli forces operate an expansive surveillance system in Gaza that collects phone and text records, social relations, drone footage, biometric data, and uses artificial intelligence. The surveillance enables targeted killings and constrains movement, speech, and social interaction. People alter behaviors, reducing life activities and rehearsing safer identities to avoid detection, producing heavy psychological burdens. Surveillance informed military targeting that led to a bombing of the reporter's family home, killing relatives and neighbors. Ongoing winter storms and infrastructure collapse exacerbate civilian vulnerability amid siege conditions and pervasive monitoring. Access to intimate datasets enables precise identification and real-time tracking that reshapes daily decisions and survival strategies.
