Following the Hamas-led massacre and invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel has launched a continued assault on Gaza, deploying aerial bombing, ground invasions, and a total blockade in its effort to destroy Hamas. In these 12 months the assault has killed approximately 42,000 Palestinian, displaced over 90% of Gazans, and destroyed over half of all Gazan buildings (BBC Visual Journalism Team, 2024) This widespread destruction, combined with Israels blockade, has created a major humanitarian crisis consisting of famine, spread of infectious diseases, and a collapsed healthcare sector (Batrawy, 2024). To explore the (in)humanity of this crisis, the developing field of everyday security studies can provide valuable insights. As opposed to earlier positivistic theories of security, everyday security studies focus on the daily, habitual, and mundane aspects of life and how they relate to in/security. Where the referent object of traditional theories of security may be the state, international institutions, politicians, military or the bourgeois, everyday security explores those often relegated to the private sphere: civilians, workers, women, and children. By exploring the spatial, temporal, and affective experiences of non-elite actors within Gaza, we can illuminate Israeli security apparatuses of blockade, bombing, ground invasion, surveillance, and forced displacement. This lens allows for a greater understanding of both the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict and other global conflicts that oppress groups via acts of everyday violence, be it Ukrainians, Kurds, Kashmiris, or the Rohingya.
