Rockets have been flying between Israel and Gaza for a while now, prompting a lovely propaganda war as both sides fight to paint the other in a negative light, and as to who fired first it's pretty much impossible to tell at the moment.
Currently the Israel Defence Force has started a ground force offence which has resulted in the death of 24 Palestinians and 200 injured since it began on Thursday night. In terms of the rockets that Israel has launched the government has stated that they've been targeting places where Hamas Militants have been hiding and storing various weaponry, unfortunately a lot of this places are in densely populated places and apparently public buildings such as schools and hospitals. Recently a few Hospitals in the Gaza Strip have had to evacuate their patients and staff to other hospitals during to repeated rocket fire. Furthermore the press has been evacuated and area of Gaza. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-28359582
IN other news international investigators have now been allowed into the crash site of MH17 by Rebels who currently have control of the area in Eastern Ukraine.Latest figures released by Malaysia Airlines show the plane was carrying at least 189 Dutch nationals, 27 Australians, 44 Malaysians (including 15 crew), 12 Indonesians and nine Britons. Many of those on the flight were on their way to an AIDS conference in Austrailia. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-28361908
On a lighter topic, I'm writing my post and Kole is feeling like a silly billy. :3
