Blind spot... Why is Israel spending billions of dollars to confront the "fireworks" of the resistance?.
Israel lost $60 billion during the first three months of its current war on the Gaza Strip, which is equivalent to 10% of its annual gross domestic product. A $500 missile costs $60,000 to shoot down, says the economics editor of the Al Jazeera Net website, Muhammad Afzaz. The natural gas wealth found under the shores of Gaza represents one of the main incentives that push Israel to destroy the Strip and seek to control its wealth.
