Bansky has visited Gaza spraying his paint creating art in the war ravaged city of Beit Hanoun. The anonymous but eminent British street artist known as Banksy has posted a mini-documentary on his banksy.co.uk site showing squalid conditions in Gaza, six months after the end of the war between the enclave's Islamist Hamas rulers and Israel.
Israel was criticised over the large number of Palestinian civilian deaths during the conflict. Over 2,100 Palestinians were killed during the fighting, most of them civilians and many of them children, while 67 Israeli soldiers and six civilians were killed.
The two-minute documentary was posted on Thursday and like many of Banksy's murals and other art is politically charged and whimsical at the same time. It starts off with a view of clouds from an airplane window while text on the screen says "Make this the year you discover a new destination".
