The family was eating breakfast when pallets dropped from airplanes and careened towards the displacement area, the grandfather of the boy, who is also named Sami Ayyad, told CNN. Several family members attempted to take cover inside their improvised tents – but the falling parcel killed the three-year-old instantly, Ayyad recalled. Sami’s aunt and cousin were also wounded on their foot and face, respectively, Ayyad added.
No, that wasn’t the point of the temporary dock.
What do you think it was for? Oil exploration?
edit: I’ll note that for oil exploration, there is a huge port facility just an hours drive north at this big city called Tel Aviv which would be much more efficient.
It was there for positive PR of Biden helping Palestinians.
That too. Unfortunately that also failed.
The pier was there to support a rescue operation by Israel. It was up for a whopping 20 days. And when it was active it didn’t bring much aid in.
What rescue operation required a multi-million dollar pier to be set up? Usually armored ground vehicles and/or helicopters work just fine for those.
