Gaza Fighting Enters Fourth Day
[New York Times] Ethan Bronner and Taghreed El-Khodary - Israel continued its airstrikes against Hamas targets on Tuesday as the death toll in Gaza surpassed 350, some 60 of them civilians, according to UN officials. Israel has defined its aim as the crippling of Hamas' ability to send rockets into Israel. On Monday, Hamas fired more than 70 rockets at Israel and has killed a total of four Israelis since Saturday. At Shifa Hospital in Gaza, armed Hamas militants in civilian clothes shot six suspected collaborators with Israel in 24 hours.
