Overnight, Israeli warplanes were reported to have attacked the Gaza Strip, intending to hit military targets belonging to Hamas. The reports out of the strip suggest no real damage or casualties on the military targets.

That doesn’t mean Israel did nothing, however, as videos and photos emerged from the area around Rafah to show that Israel attacked and destroyed three poultry farms. The video showed the sites, which were being restored after the most recent war, were attacked again.

Each farm was described as having more than 2,000 chickens when attacked during the war. The owner says the three sites were all “empty” and in the process of being repaired. A lot of new damage was caused, and they are starting from scratch in trying to restore the farms.

As is usually the case, Israel offered next to no details on its attacks, or why it was that the empty farms were attacked again. Israel’s lack of explanation was to the extent that many reports on the strikes didn’t mention the farms at all.
