As international pressure mounts from the United States and Egypt, rockets from Gaza are reaching the Israeli capital of Jerusalem and the country's largest city of Tel Aviv... meanwhile Israeli rockets are devastating areas inside Gaza and Israel threatens to launch a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.
On Sunday an Israeli missile killed at least 11 Palestinian civilians including four children in Gaza. Israel claims to be targeting only military sites, however because Gaza is so densely populated, civilians are getting caught in the cross-fire.
In the coming days, I will be posting topics related to this conflict; a conflict which includes not only Israel and the Hamas controlled area of Gaza, but the Fatah controlled West Bank, as well as Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Egypt. I encourage you to visit the link below and watch the videos in order to familiarize yourself with the history of this long conflict.
