Gaza tower collapses after Israel strike, several injured
2014-08-24
[Iran Press TV] The Tel Aviv regime has bombed a 12-story residential building in the center of the beleaguered Gazoo Strip, leaving several maimed.

The Zafer Tower, located in Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in southern Gazoo City, was toppled by Israel's warplanes on Saturday.

Two missiles hit the tower within seconds causing a massive fireball, which was followed by smoke billowing into the sky.

The strikes, which shook the neighboring high-rises in the area, brought down entire tower with 44 apartments.

"People started shouting Allahu Akbar, and women and kids were screaming," said, a resident, adding, "This is crazy. The state of Israel has resorted to madness. In less than a minute, 44 families have become displaced ... They lost everything, their house, their money, their memories and their security."

According to some reports, 22 people were maimed, including 11 children and five women.

The Israeli military said it targeted a room belonging to Paleostinian resistance movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, in the building.

Press TV's correspondent in Gazoo said the collateral damage was immense, adding, the residents of two nearby buildings had also been warned to evacuate for impending Arclight airstrikes.

Israeli warplanes and tanks have been pounding the blockaded enclave since early July, inflicting heavy losses on the Paleostinian land.

Some 2,100 people, mostly civilians, have bit the dust and over 10,200 have been injured despite pressure from the international community on the Tel Aviv regime to end aggression against Paleostinians.

#5  Again, notice that the Israelis WARNED the residents to get out. If Israel wanted to simply murder Gazans, they would have struck in the middle of the night, with no warning. So, instead of a hundred or more dead, there were only 22 wounded.

Of course, Israel's enemies (i.e., most of the rest of the world) focuses on the poor people who lost "everything". Except of course their lives.

Closet full of oily rags? The Juices firing missiles with depleted uranium warheads? You probably guessed "secondary explosions", but hey, to-may-to, to-mah-to.
