Pedestrians soon created a human column that spread to the eye – miles in length and some 20 people approach. Rarely, such an restless journey seems like such a relief.
“We are very happy,” said 17 -year -old Malik Alhaj Ahmed, a high school student who was taking selfies with his family on the coastal road. “There is no longer a moment of happiness than returning home.”
To mark the moment, some people distributed sweets. Some passing photographers shine signs of victory. A group of small boys led the slogan to celebrate. He sang, “Right or left, the North is the best.” “In the north we go!”
For the Palestinians, it was a moment of symbolism. Since the foundation of Israel in 1948, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled from their homes, known as Nakaba in Arabic, the Palestinians have been repeatedly depleted and deported.
Most Ghazan is a descendant of refugees in 1948, and many people considered their migration from northern Gaza in 2023 as the second point. This fear has repeatedly reinforced Israeli calls to settle northern Gaza with Israeli citizens, as well as President Trump’s advice that the Gazis should move to other parts of the Arab world.
To return home against this background, through the land where Israeli soldiers just withdrawn, some Palestinians felt the courage against their history.
Ahmad Shehda, 34, a textile manufacturer, said, “We turned the table on his head,” unlike many people returning to Monday, he found his house still standing.
“They wanted to expel us from Gaza,” Mr Shehda said on the phone. Instead, he added, “I am sitting on the sofa in my house, and I can’t believe it.”
