Day 45 of Operation Protective Edge
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePREAMBLE: Some 200 rockets have been fired from Gaza at Israel since Hamas breached a truce on Tuesday afternoon. Israel has pounded Hamas targets in Gaza, including bombing the home in Gaza City where Hamas terror chief Mohammad Deif and his family were believed to be late on Tuesday. Deif’s wife and son were killed. Hamas says Deif survived. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not be drawn on the subject, other than calling Hamas leaders legitimate and prime targets.
The Cairo ceasefire talks are over, for now at least.
Hamas is vowing more attacks Thursday, including warning foreign airlines not to use Ben Gurion Airport.
