The rockets and missiles fell silent over Gaza for the first time in eight days today, but gunfire erupted in the crowded streets of the Palestinian enclave to celebrate the announcement of a ceasefire in the bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The two sides fired final salvos at one another up until the final moments before the 2 p.m. ET cease-fire deadline. At least one Israeli missile landed at 1:57 p.m. ET in Gaza, and four rockets were launched toward the Israeli province of Beer Sheva at 1:59 p.m. ET.
After 2 p.m. ET, however, the sky was finally empty of munitions.
The eight days of fighting left 130 Palestinans and five Israelis dead, and badly damaged many of Gaza's buildings. A bomb that exploded on a bus in Tel Aviv earlier today left an additional 10 Israelis wounded.

Social media is for hanging out with your friends. Propaganda is where you pull the wool over thousands of people you would like to screw or participate in the screwing of a group of people.

Dolton-- You are using a book that embraces lying, stealing, rape, incest, murder, and cheating, a book that claims the world is a few thousand years old and men lived to be over 800 years as a basis for physical violence against innocent people? So, the USA should cease to exist too and return... More

I don't see why this is so strange. The young are always at the front of any war. It's the old men behind them giving them orders you have to watch out for.
