Gaza – Israeli fire killed at least 21 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday as the Jewish state said it targeted Islamist militants at dozens of sites across the coastal enclave, while Egyptian mediators prepared a revised ceasefire proposal.

Israel’s Channel Two TV said progress was being made to achieve a deal in Cairo, where a Palestinian delegation was expected to arrive for discussions.
Israeli tank shells pounding houses in eastern Jebalya in the northern Gaza Strip killed 13 people and wounded many others, health ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qidra said. Among the dead were a medic and an infant, he said.
Eight people, including five members of the same family in Jebalya, were killed in other strikes across the Gaza Strip.
Gaza hospital officials put the total number of Palestinians killed in the conflict at 1,224, most of them civilians. On the Israeli side, 53 soldiers and three civilians have been killed since the start of the offensive on July 8.
Wevalue life anf 53 is way too many to lose mainly bec we r trying to minimize civilian casualties of whom hamas would be happier we wouildnt be so careful bec they all hate and kill each other. No one is crying about the 150 kids that died building tunnels
Shalit deal 1 Israeli=1000
What exactly is being achieved in this war?? Of course besides the very crucial task of killing Palestinians, thereby angering the entire Muslim world. Israel’s claim that they are targeting and aiming for the Hamas members and that’s why they are allowed to do what they are doing, is gibberish at its best. Because Hamas members will only be replaced by other militants, they cant and wont be weakened, check out the history of them. They want to be recognized as a legit government, if they Israeli like it or not. IY’H the Israeli and Palestinians will accept a ceasefire in the next few days, can someone please advise exactly what was accomplished??? Absolutely nothing! ( oh I forgot about the tunnels, but that of course is Bibi’s personal PR)
The terrorist group hamas continues to cause casualties. Will they ever learn to stop the hatred and violence?
Well I read where Israel is now “pounding””symbols” of Hamas authority. That is not good. Before Israel was saying ti was making targeted strikes against military targets. Perhaps those targets have been destroyed. Perhaps the Israelis have no idea what else to hit.
This is not good. When angry young men with guns have no strict idea of what they can and what they cannot do, Bad Things happen.

extremely insightful commentary.
Insightful in that it is obvious from your comment that you have no clue.
#5 #6 Do you think Hama’s will go away ? The Big question is there any other way to handle this without creating 100,000 more Palestinian’s ready for suicide RL, to teach the Jews a lesson
