Israel Pounds Gaza Strip Amid Fears of a Ground Invasion

HeadlineNov 16, 2012

Israel is continuing to pound the Gaza Strip with air strikes amidst fears that Israel could soon launch a ground invasion into Gaza. At least 21 Palestinians have died in the most recent round of violence, while three Israelis died on Thursday. Israel said it launched 150 air strikes overnight, while Palestinians fired a dozen rockets into Israel. Among the casualties of Israeli violence was the 11-month-old son of a BBC Arabic journalist. An Associated Press photo showed Jihad Misharawi clutching the wrapped body of his baby, who was killed by an Israeli round that struck his home Wednesday.
