Israeli tanks in Gaza in worst clash in year | Reuters

(Reuters) - Israeli tanks advanced into the Gaza Strip on Friday after the worst clash with Palestinian fighters in 14 months killed two on each side, and Palestinian sources reported more casualties in the fighting.

It always continues. These sides just don't get along. How well would a two state solution work when they hate each other?

They said five Israeli tanks and two armored bulldozers advanced from the east firing shells at targets near the town of Khan Younis in the center of the narrow coastal enclave.
The Gaza-based militant group Popular Resistance Committees confirmed one of its fighters was critically wounded by shelling. Palestinian sources reported Israeli helicopters and unmanned military drones in the skies.
Witnesses near the scene said the sounds of gunfire abated an hour before midnight (2100 GMT) but the tanks were still in place firing occasional rounds. Residents were fearful of a bigger Israeli incursion, and evacuation warnings were given.

I would say that again. It is a fact that the Israeli's do not take to advice from others. No matter what kind of a friend you may be.

This is true. They want to be left alone to muddle through as they can. Israel is as independent as can be found in the world.
