Significant Events:

  • “Days after hundreds of Hamas terrorists from Gaza rampaged through border towns in a surprise assault that killed at least 1,300 Israelis, the region is bracing for further conflict. … The attackers infiltrated 22 Israeli towns and army bases, and took civilians and soldiers hostage. Hamas assailants killed men, women and children, at home, strolling on the street or dancing at an outdoor festival.” NY Times
  • “Hamas was able to kill more than 1,300 people before the Israel Defense Forces awoke. Israel — lulled and distracted by growing acceptance in the Middle East, by lacerating internal divisions, by settlement projects in the occupied West Bank, and by the increasing marginalization of the Palestinian issue on the global stage — had switched off to the central threat against it. … Yet, just over the Gaza fence, about two million Palestinians lived in a seething enclave blockaded by Israel, a desperate place that incubated extremism in what is often referred to as “an open-air prison.”” NY Times
  • “A humanitarian crisis is gripping Gaza as hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians flee to the south amid the Israeli military’s aerial bombardment in retaliation for Hamas’ brutal terrorist attack one week ago.” NBC News
