Rabie Darduna's house was completely destroyed during the Hamas-Israeli war last summer in Gaza. All except for the front door and frame, that is, which remains standing as if ready to welcome guests for dinner.

Darduna's door became a piece of art when graffiti artist, Banksy painted an image of a Greek goddess weeping on it.

The door was one of several 'canvases' Banksy painted on in Gaza back in February.

It's hard to say whether Darduna knew what price a Banksy might fetch in the market, but when a local artist named Bilal Khaled offered 700 shekels (about $175) for the door, he took the deal. Meanwhile, Sotheby's was auctioning off Banksy works for as much as $730,000 in June.

This week, Darduna claimed he was swindled, and Thursday, police in Khan Younis acted on a court order and seized the door.

Khaled says the deal is legit.

But Darduna told the BBC he was pressured and that he "accepted because [he] need[ed] the money."

Here's more of the BBC's interview with Darduna:

While an unassuming door might be at the center of this latest Banksy ownership kerfuffle, the graffiti artist used other everyday surfaces while in Gaza.

It's not the first time Banksy has been to the Israel and Gaza. Here are a couple of images of his work from 2008 and 2005.
