Drone footage reveals what little remains of Gaza right now
The 50-day war between Israel and Hamas was more destructive than you might have imagined VIDEO
TIMOTHY MCGRATH, GLOBALPOST
Gaza was devastated by this summer’s 50-day war between Israel and Hamas, which killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, 64 Israeli soldiers, and five Israeli civilians. Israeli air strikes destroyed more 17,000 homes, 360 factories (about 10 percent of Gaza’s industrial capacity), and 42,000 acres of farmland. More than 100,000 Gazans have been displaced from their homes.
