FWIW Bing Maps (not mentioned in article) is also blurry, or rather because of their rendering preferences it is pixelated. Bing Maps has different and sometimes superior aerial imagery to Google Maps, but not this time. Baidu Maps astonishingly has no roads at all in Gaza; just a little bit of data about parks. No aerial imagery for the area too. I don't read Chinese so can't tell if they have any explanation.
