Thousands Flee Major Battle With Israel In Gaza
2014-07-21
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] Escalating their ground offensive, Israeli troops backed by tanks and warplanes battled Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, turbans in a crowded neighborhood of Gazoo City early Sunday. The fighting, including heavy Israeli tank fire, killed scores of Paleostinians, forced thousands to flee and damaged or destroyed dozens of homes.
Israel did warn them ahead of time. Some clearly regret their previous choice to ignore that.
Paleostinian health officials reported at least 65 people killed as air and artillery strikes echoed across the city for hours. They put the number of displaced at 35,000, with at least 435 people killed in the nearly two-week conflict.

Israeli military casualties spiked in the fighting, with 13 killed Sunday, raising the total number of dead soldiers to 18. Two civilians also have died in mortar and rocket attacks.

 said he expects to come to the Middle East in coming days and that he support's Egypt's call for an immediate cease-fire, rejected last week by Hamas. The Islamic turbans say they want guarantees that Gazoo's border blockade will be eased before agreeing to stop fighting.

#1  You know that in 1967 IDF fired in front of Gazans to stop them from running away to Egypt.
