In May, hostilities erupted in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the coastal territory. The resulting 11-day war killed 260 people in Gaza and 13 people in Israel, according to the United Nations, and reduced entire sections of Gaza City to smoldering rubble. The Israeli military said it was targeting Hamas military infrastructure in Gaza. Coverage of the war was limited because Israel, citing security concerns, closed Gaza’s borders to foreign journalists. The video from Ms. Al-Hlou and Mr. Collier offered a unique look at the destruction in Gaza from those who witnessed it firsthand.
