There is a small war starting along Gaza border
What began as a local escalation is steadily transforming into a broader conflict that the sides will apparently have difficulty stopping.
While the headlines are focusing on the Katsav trial, the protests in Syria and the implications of the earthquake in Japan, a small war has been going on for a week now along the Gaza border.
Israeli communities near the border are receiving a daily dose of mortars and rockets, and the Israel Air Force has been attacking Gaza. What began as a local escalation is steadily transforming into a broader conflict that the sides will apparently have difficulty stopping, though it’s doubtful either side has an interest in reaching that point.
