Gaza mourns its dead as the specter of an endless cycle of conflict looms
CNN
It's over. The bombs and rockets no longer fall; on Friday night families in Gaza City ventured out to stroll around the main square, or sit on the benches.
But it's not over. The Israeli drones buzz incessantly overhead. And the events of the past 11 days are only now beginning to sink in. The raw emotions of fear and terror, of loss and anger, will linger on. In Al-Wahdah street, Israeli air strikes caused three buildings to collapse in the middle of the night last Sunday -- killing more than 40 people. Five days later, an endless stream of residents walk by and gawk at the mounds of jagged concrete and twisted metal. Atop one of those mounds lies a bright red teddy bear, its head separated from its body.More Related News
