Israel has razed over 2,500 buildings in the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire with Hamas took effect in October, according to a report in the New York Times.
The report says most of the demolitions have been on the Israeli side of the so-called Yellow Line demarcating the areas of control in Gaza, with the Israel Defense Forces telling the US newspaper that it is dismantling tunnels and buildings that have been booby-trapped.
