What you can't see on the UN maps of Gaza

GovXShortDescription
The red dots on the UN’s maps represent more than destruction. They show the many cases in which terrorists attacked Israel from heavily populated areas in Gaza.

IDF Spokesperson
)
Last week, the
UN published several maps
showing the aftermath of
Operation Protective Edge
. The maps mark damaged buildings with red dots scattered throughout Gaza. But these maps tell only half the story:
Hamas used many of these buildings -
including houses, hospitals and schools
- as sites to launch rockets and carry out other attacks.
In many cases, the IDF struck buildings in order to stop Hamas’ violence. This means that the red dots on the UN’s maps represent more than destruction. They show the many cases in which
terrorists attacked Israel from heavily populated areas in Gaza.
