Widespread destruction in wake of Israeli attacks
Israeli aircraft fired missiles and dropped bombs in another terrorist attack against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip causing widespread destruction, damage and loss of life. The world complains when Palestinians fire rockets at Israel but is silent when Israel fires rockets and more at Palestinians

Palestinians inspect the damage to a chicken farm in Gaza City’s eastern suburb of Shujaiya on February 7, 2017, following a series of Israeli air strikes.
The air strikes took place the day before by Israeli forces against alleged Hamas movement targets in the Gaza Strip, but the damage was sustained by civilians.
Israel asserted the massive assault was provoked by the firing of a a projectile fired from the enclave that hit a border area, according to an Israeli military statement.
Israeli forces also assaulted Palestinian fishing boats that were docked along the Gaza coast, preventing them from fishing Gaza waters.
