What's happening in Gaza?

Nothing good. Looks like war.

22 killed on day of bloodshed in Gaza

At least 19 Palestinians died in military operations in Gaza on Wednesday in a day of bloodshed sparked when militants ambushed and killed three Israeli soldiers. The pre-arranged ambush raised fears that the militants had received training from one of Israel's most successful military opponents, the Lebanese group Hizbollah.

It prompted a series of air raids on Gaza by Israeli forces attacking what they claimed were legitimate military targets. In the biggest single loss of life, a missile strike killed at least 11 Palestinians. Local medics said that two of the dead were children.
My thought is to look at who has the biggest American-made missile, and who apparently is allowed to attack civilian areas with hardly a shake of the international finger.
