Israel-Gaza conflict flares anew: what happened?
Israel and Hamas militants have engaged in a flare-up of violence that has killed at least 45 Palestinians and an Israeli in Gaza and Israel and sent hundreds of thousands running for cover. What began as a carefully choreographed campaign of violence by Hamas, the Palestinian ruling movement, escalates to the brink of all-out war.
At least 45 Palestinians and an Israeli have been killed in days of cross-border violence focused on the Gaza Strip.
For Israelis, the intensive bombing campaign in Gaza seeks to stanch the more than 40 rockets fired into the country this week. For Palestinians, the Israeli strikes are part of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and come on the heels of the latest round of Israeli-brokered peace negotiations.
The opening salvo was expectant: Hamas militants struck first, launching a series of rockets from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel.
“It is God’s will that we continue able to fire and continue our path,” senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya said, telling Palestinians to brace for a longer struggle.
In the immediate aftermath of the first rocket strike, militants fired calamitous rockets into Israel proper, striking the city of Tel Aviv, puncturing Yom Kippur, resulting in restoration.
“We’ve calibrated our response,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. “We didn’t want to escalate, but we did respond.”
Israel has long sought to portray itself as the beleaguered state in the region, responding to Hamas provocations with a vengeance that has resulted at times in malignancy in Gaza.
On Friday, the campaign of bombardment entered its fourth day.

Israeli air strikes on Gaza killed 11 people, including women and children, but one woman struck by shrapnel was found alive in an ambulance in the besieged territory.
The Israeli violence was a response to rockets launched on Tuesday from Gaza, where jihadist groups later claimed they killed an Israeli soldier in an overnight attack in Yavne in the south of Israel with a powerful bomb.
The implication is that the violence would have stopped had Israel not responded to the rockets.

Some wondered if this kind of militant leader would be able to demonstrate the restraint that could help prevent this kind of calamity, but it seems the incitement resulting from violence in the region will continue unchecked.

But this media framing underscores that “targeted” killings are nothing of the sort, but instead a form of deliberate violence that includes bombing teenagerspic.twitter.com/iRVWKLv10
