not quite the same as a yellow star but close enough
After being expelled from Gaza’s Jabalia under intense bombing, and following hours of questioning, Israeli soldiers handed Samir* a glowing stick.
He was then forced to flee south and was given a simple instruction: drop the light and you will be bombed.
It is a new practice by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip to mark forcibly displaced Palestinians, eyewitnesses have told Middle East Eye.
The light sticks, originally intended for emergency signalling or visibility in the dark, are being used to indicate which group of Palestinians has been interrogated, cleared and is following orders for forced displacement from northern Gaza.
But legal experts warn that it leaves people without the stick vulnerable to Israeli attacks, as they could be seen as potential targets.
