BEIT HANOUN, Gaza Strip - It took Ramez al-Masri three years to rebuild his home after it was destroyed in a 2014 Israeli offensive. When war returned to the area last week, it took just a few seconds for the house to be flattened again in an Israeli airstrike.

The despondent al-Masri once again finds himself among the thousands of Gazans left homeless by another war between Israel and the territory’s Islamic militant Hamas rulers.

It was 3 a.m. on Wednesday when the phone call from Israel came to a neighbor ordering everyone in the area to evacuate. “Leave your homes, we are going to bomb,” al-Masri says they were told.

The airstrike turned his home into a crater. On Sunday, the massive hole was filled with murky water spewing from broken water and sewage lines.

And all this misery could have been avoided if Hamas simply hadn’t fired those 3000 rockets ... but nope, terrorists are gonna do what terrorists do

So you get more of this

Wow, man, that really sucks.

America has its own “homeless”. Let’s not give a penny toward rebuilding the Gazans’ well-deserved demolished infrastructure. Perhaps next time they would then think twice before firing thousands of rockets against Israel.

Typical AP propaganda. The fighting didn’t just happen, the Occupiers of Gaza district launched hundreds of missile bombs against innocent Israeli Jews and Christians. It is a crying shame the evil Arabian Occupation of Gaza is still allowed to continue.

I have a suggestion for Ramez, quit supporting Hamas.

This will be the reality as long as terrorists are allowed to operate in Gaza.

And how much warning did Israeli citizens get before the terrorist's rocket attacks?

Send the bill to US taxpayers. Thanks to Obiden the Iranian mullahs, Hamas and PA Authority have plenty of $ to wage war against our ally Israel.

Oh, and China Joe intends to fund the rebuilding of Gaza buildings destroyed by Israel.
