#1 Gaza is a zoo and it's full of animals. (I didn't know it had keepers, though.)

#2 What purpose does it serve to walk around shooting animals and destroying the place?

For Israel - none. For HamAss - publicity and....

For the first, he says he will need close to $200,000(Dh734,000) to ~~buy more guns and ammo~~ return the zoo to its former state

#3 In order to have a cultural center (or centre), wouldn't you need a culture first?

#4 um. This would be the "Gaza Fluffy Bunny and Darling Duckling Virtyal Zoo", would it?

#6 Why would Israelis target the zoo? Does anyone know?

There were 40 types of animals, a children's library, a playground and cultural centre housed at the facility. Inside the main building, soldiers defaced the walls, ripped out one of the toilets and removed all of the hard drives from the office computers.

Actually, that sounds pretty bad. Any news supporting the story?

#7 Here's something refuting it, ex-lib.

It's the second video down in this LGF post. (I don't know how to imbed the video by itself - maybe someone else does.)

Basically, it's a video taken by the IDF showing how the zoo was booby-trapped. By guess who. (Hint: It's not the IDF.)

#8 Unfortunately the MSM is all to willing to go with the Hamass version and never report anything about the IDF version.
