The Undersecretary of the Ministry of National Economy in Gaza, Rushdi Wadi, announced that during the recent aggression on Gaza, the occupation warplanes destroyed 16 factories in the Industrial City, east of Gaza City, half of them completely and the other half partially.
He stressed, during an inspection tour on Monday, to the industrial zone in Gaza, that the ministry has formed technical committees that include its staff and various industrial unions to start counting the economic damage.
He said, "The occupation carried out a brutal war against factories and economic establishments in the Gaza Strip and used internationally prohibited weapons to target them."
Wadi said that the investment in Gaza Industrial City exceeded $ 150 million, and it is one of the largest cities in Palestine.
And everyone called for immediate and urgent action to restore what the occupation has destroyed in the industrial zone and the right of all factories and economic establishments in the Gaza Strip.
During the eleven days of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, the occupation targeted iron, plastic, sewing, nylon and furniture factories.
The brutal Israeli aggression on the lands of the Palestinian Authority and Arab towns in the occupied interior in 1948, resulted in the death of 279 martyrs, including 69 children, 40 women, and 17 elderly people, while about 9 thousand Palestinians were injured, of which 90 were classified as "very dangerous".
