Unknown assailants attack Gaza seaside resort after appeals for police guard ignored
GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- Assailants burned a Gaza resort at dawn Wednesday, the manager said.
Imad Al-Wazeer told Ma'an a group of 30 armed and masked men arrived at the Rais resort in Gaza and threatened employees.
The resort was damaged in Israel's Operation Cast Lead but Al-Wazeer says he reopened the facility in order to show Israel that the people of Gaza would live their lives in spite of the attack.
"This time, unfortunately, my resort was damaged by Palestinian hands," he said.
The resort cost some $120,000 to establish and has swimming pools, restaurants and other facilities. After the attack, however, 13 employees have lost their jobs, Al-Wazeer says.
He held the police in Gaza responsible for the attack, saying they should provide security.
"I asked the police several times to provide protection and security but no one paid any attention," he said.
