MIddle Eastern Conflict

   Israel and Palestine are still at it in the Gaza strip. Hamas and other allied militants are firing rockets, mortars, and missiles into Israeli cities and towns, as time ticks on the rockets are finding their ways deeper and deeper into the country. At the same time, Israel is conducting airstrikes and air raids into the Gaza Strip. Israeli airstrikes are hitting civilians, Ceasefire Broker and Video on Israeli Airstrikes, enraging many. Israel says it's investigating into the matter, but I doubt anything will actually happen. Israel says that dozens of "terrorists" have been neutralized, but the Palestine health ministry says that many of those who have perished to the airstrikes were women and children. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon both pleaded to Israel and Palestine to exercise restraint, to prevent another full-blown war in the Middle East. Israel's Iron Dome system has intercepted many rockets shot by Palestinian militants. And Israel also has drones to in its arsenal for reconnaisance. Meanwhile, the Gaza Strip does not have any type of defense to Israeli airstrikes other than directing its  citizens to nearby cover, but there's not always a warning.
