Coming soon to Gaza: Boxed Coca-Cola bottles lined up at the Coca Cola factory in Bnei Brak.

Ten truckloads of machinery for a new Coca-Cola plant in Gaza have been shipped from Jordan this week, under the watching eyes of Israel, for a new plant  to employ approximately 350 Gazans.

Pepsi already operates a bottling plant in Gaza, and Coca-Cola plans to launch operation this coming year.

The equipment was shipped from Germany and Turkey and then to Gaza via Jordan.

Total investment for the operation is estimated at $20 million.

Construction for the factory has continued for two years, interrupted by last summer’s war when Hamas launched missiles and rockets deep into Israel, reaching Jerusalem and north of Tel Aviv.

Hamas broke the  cease-fire, once again, last week with a rocket attack on the Gaza Belt in Israel. The IDF responded with a direct hit on a Hamas weapons factory built with concrete that Israel allowed to be imported, supposedly under United Nations supervision so that it would not be used for military purposes.
