Israel is constructing a miles-long earthen barrier inside the Gaza Strip, physically dividing large sections of the territory as it expands areas under its control, according to satellite imagery reviewed by The Associated Press. The Israeli military said the barrier is being built along a security line to prevent infiltration and protect troops and nearby Israeli communities. Palestinians say the project raises fears Israel intends to maintain a long-term presence inside Gaza.
