With death toll over 100, the war on Gaza continues for the fourth or the fifth day in a row. The Rafah crossing is closed because today is holiday in Egypt. The Egyptian authorities already closed the crossing last night after allegedly busting an attempt to smuggle rockets from Gaza to Sinai.
On the other hand the Egyptian armed forces sent to Gaza today 500 tons of food and medical supplies.
Here is the latest updates from Gaza as well related to Gaza.
It is obvious that there cannot be a military solution to this conflict. Only a political answer can produce peace or something resembling it. The present fighting will only exacerbate future cycles of violence. Despite what is often claimed in arguments, it is not the case that the only option available to either side is heavy retaliation. There are other choices that can be made to break this cycle.
