The Gaza war on July 8th was the worst war that has happened on the Gaza Strip. Many buildings have been destroyed and lots of sites became buried after the Israeli military tanks threw thousands of missiles on them.

In the first days of this war, every spot on Gaza was a target for Israeli Air Forces. They were using missiles that weighed more than 2 tonnes to destroy a small spot. These missiles caused many civilians to lose their lives. Many children and women died because of these types of missiles that are unacceptable under international law.

During the war when the tanks had started to enter Gaza borders, a lot of sites near the borders were ruined and a lot of people there lost their homes for no reason. In addition to that, many families died because tanks had destroyed their homes above them.
