Courtesy of Joshua Mitnick from the CSM, it reads: “Hostilities rise in Gaza”. The lede is:
Pushing an increasingly volatile confrontation closer to open war, both Israel and Hamas raised the stakes Sunday following several weeks of cross-border violence. Israeli tanks entered the Gaza Strip after Hamas militants tunneled into southern Israel, launching an attack in which they killed two Israeli soldiers and took one hostage.
Yes, the hostilities just “rose”. They came out of nowhere. And then both Israel and Hamas raised the stakes. Because it’s a cycle of violence: one side leaves an area, the other side comes after them and kidnaps their people, and then the first side tries to get their people back.
