Just another bombing in Gaza / Juste un autre bombardement à Gaza

Shelling and bombing are part of the daily life in the Gaza Strip. We even rarely see the photos or notice it at the news. Nobody seems to think this is abnormal that civilians are routinely targeted by missiles or shells. Above are the photos of some of the Salman family member who stand in the middle of their destroyed shop which was targeted during the night of 3 February by 1 missile fired by an aircraft from the Israeli army; resulting also in 2 injuries, Beit Lahiya, February 4, 2012. One of the injured persons was a 3 year old girl. The shop was in the middle of a residential area.

Just to give you an idea, this is below the updates sent by GANSO, which send alerts to NGOs about what is going in Gaza. Just in two days:

Les bombardements et attaques par missiles font partie de la vie quotidienne dans la bande de Gaza. Nous en voyons rarement voir les photos ou des annonces dans les medias. Personne ne semble penser que c'est anormal que des civils sont régulièrement pris pour cibles par des missiles ou obus. Les photos ci-dessus montrent certains membres de la famille Salman au milieu de leur magasin détruit qui a été pris pour cible au cours de la nuit du 3 Février par un missile tiré par un avion de l'armée israélienne; causant aussi des blessures à deux personnes, Beit Lahiya, 4 février 2012. Une des personnes blessées était une fillette de 3 ans. La boutique se trouvait au milieu d'un quartier résidentiel.
