GAZA.
Keep your family alive.
Field guide
Move with care.
The drones are always overhead. Stay out of the open, keep to the shadows of what is left of the buildings, and never let too many people gather in one place. You will meet other families here. Being near them may be what gets you all killed.
Under watch.
To the machines overhead there are no civilians. Anyone they see — any age — is a target.
Every face is scanned. The cameras on the corners and the drones overhead feed PANOPTIS, the targeting system that matches faces, phones and footsteps and decides who is a threat. It has never decided that anyone is not.
On every corner a small solar camera on a pole reads each face and each number plate that passes, and never forgets one. Somewhere far from here, cameras just like it watch quiet suburbs, and people call that safety.
