Blog #11 Casualties Rise in Gaza Battle; Hamas Rockets Target Tel Aviv

 
The tiff over Gaza between Israle and Hamas took a deadly turn earlier today. Many rockets were fired across the city of Gaza causing many casualties and deaths. There were no signs that this was going to happen. "despite entreaties for restraint by world leaders including President Obama and Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations secretary general, who planned a visit there in coming days. If anything, the Israelis intensified their attacks on Gaza after the Tel Aviv scare and made new moves toward a possible ground invasion."(Gladstone). The minister of defense sees now the seriousness of this, and now understands that the probelms have officially escaladed. The Egyptian people, the Egyptian leadership, the Egyptian government and all of Egypt is standing with all its resources to stop this assault, to prevent the killing and the bloodshed of Palestinians,” Mr. Morsi said in nationally televised remarks before a crisis meeting of senior ministers All in all it is just another day in the middle east I feel. There are onstantly land disputes and such problems going on, and everyone seems to feel the answer to all of the world's problems is war, and no one really knows what for.
