Piles of rubble and mounds of sand as far as the eye can see.

This is the view in Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp following a 20-day Israeli assault, says Ibrahim Rabaa. 

The camp resident fled his home earlier this month after the Israeli military launched a large-scale aerial and ground attack there.

For nearly three weeks, bombs rained down relentlessly on the densely populated area as tanks and troops advanced on the ground and laid siege to it.

On Friday, Israeli forces retreated from the whole of northern Gaza, including Jabalia, allowing displaced people like Rabaa to return.

What Israel's military left behind was a path of total destruction.
