4=New Gaza factory, jobs destroyed in Israeli attack The Electronic Intifada, 10 February 2011

"I still cannot believe my eyes as I see the machines of our new factory, scattered to all corners," said Rabah al-Hatto as he looked at the rubble of his recently-established plastic water tank factory in

northeast Gaza, which was bombed by Israeli warplanes early yesterday. "What have I and the twenty workers here done to find

ourselves jobless?" al-Hatto told The Electronic Intifada.

The factory was due to start distributing its products in the local market in two weeks. "I am completely shocked," al-Hatto said. "I never

imagined that the factory in which I and my partners invested all our money and energy, would become rubble." As he spoke, al-Hatto was

surrounded by workers, friends, reporters and a field worker from a human rights group.

"Yesterday [Tuesday] afternoon, we left the factory to go home. Just before 1 am on Wednesday morning I heard Israeli warplanes bombing

the area, but I did not imagine it was the factory. Later in the morning, I came to work to find our machines and the ceiling destroyed," Bashar al-

Wehaidi, a technician in the factory, told The Electronic Intifada. "Everything in this 1,200 square meter building was hit."

Israeli air strikes early Wednesday hit a number of sites in northern Gaza, injuring eight persons, according to medical sources. Three men, three women and two children were hit by debris and shrapnel that struck area homes. The Israeli attacks also destroyed a medical storage building and damaged a school.

Now in his early forties, al-Hatto told The Electronic Intifada the story behind his factory. "A year ago, my brother, others partners and I decided to build this factory," he said. "I used to work as a steelworker, but with the lack of steel due to the Israeli blockade, I decided to invest all my savings in manufacturing plastic water tanks."

Al-Hatto estimates the losses to him and his partners from the Israeli attack to be $300,000, as well as the incomes for the twenty now jobless workers and their families.Bashar al-Wehaidi, the now unemployed technician, said that the attack was a complete injustice by Israel. "We have been working tirelessly over the past year in order for this important facility to see the light. May God compensate us such a great loss," he said.Israeli army sources said on Wednesday that their latest air strikes on Gaza were in response to five homemade rockets that landed in southern Israel causing no injuries and minor property damage.
