2. Israel - Gaza conflict
• Israeli airstrikes began November 14, following months of Palestinian
rocket fire into Israel. Monday, the top leader of Hamas dared Israel to
launch a ground invasion of Gaza and dismissed diplomatic efforts to
broker a cease-fire in the six-day-old conflict, as the Israeli military
conducted a new wave of deadly airstrikes which included a second hit
on a 15-story building that houses media outlets. What follows is just a
small collection of images from the last few days of the conflict. –
