War without end

Israel and Gaza's year ended miserably: After Hamas forces repeatedly fired rockets into Israel at the end of a six-month ceasefire between the two sides, Israel retaliated with air strikes on the Palestinian-controlled Gaza Strip. The intense bombing campaign killed more than 300 people in Gaza in the first three days, including at least 57 civilians. Israeli bombs also obliterated symbols of Hamas power, including a wing of the Islamic University, the alma mater of many top Hamas officials.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Israel wasn't fighting civilians in Gaza, but that the country was in "a war to the bitter end" with Hamas. He said Israel intended to deliver "a severe blow" to the Islamic militant group, and that the operation would be "widened and deepened as needed." In Jerusalem, Israel's Cabinet approved calling up 6,500 reserve soldiers for the possibility of a ground invasion, though the country would likely need far more troops for a full-scale offensive.
