One year ago, Gaza became a battlefield as Israel began a military offensive to root out Hamas in response to the Oct 7. Hamas-led attacks. The war has left Gaza unrecognizable. Tens of thousands of people have been killed, and almost everyone living there has been displaced — many of them multiple times.

Nearly 60 percent of buildings have been damaged or destroyed in the besieged enclave, an area about half the size of New York City. Videos and images from before and after the war started in some of the hardest hit areas — including Khan Younis, Gaza City and Jabaliya — reveal the magnitude of ruin across the strip.

Israel says its goal was to eradicate Hamas and destroy the tunnel network it built below ground. But in that attempt, it laid waste to an area that is home to some two million people.

But Hamas is bad and hiding behind the population...Not IDF's fault if they hide from the bombs! So bombing people and civilian buildings is OK! Smile, have a good day. And remember to support the forces of Good fighting the Axis of Evil!

I dunno why people post this rag. It's nonstop disinfo, propaganda, zionism, and liberal BS.
