Gaza fighting rages despite cease-fire proposal - Yahoo! News

Gaza fighting rages despite cease-fire proposal - Yahoo! News: "GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israel resumed its Gaza offensive Wednesday, bombing heavily around suspected smuggling tunnels near the border with Egypt after a three-hour lull to allow in humanitarian aid. Hamas responded with a rocket barrage. Despite the heavy fighting, strides were made on the diplomatic front with the U.S. throwing its weight behind a deal being brokered by France and Egypt.
While the Security Council failed to reach agreement on a cease-fire resolution, Egypt's U.N. Ambassador Maged Abdelaziz said representatives of Israel, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have agreed to meet separately with Egyptian officials in Cairo Thursday.
Israeli airstrikes killed 29 Palestinians on Wednesday after leaflets were dropped warning residents to leave the area 'because Hamas uses your houses to hide and smuggle military weapons.'"

Rockets Reach Ashkelon and Ashdod, Rocking Their Worlds | The Jewish Exponent

Rockets Reach Ashkelon and Ashdod, Rocking Their Worlds | The Jewish Exponent: "The Shock of Her Life
Galit Ben-Asher Yonah, 37, said it was 'the shock of my life' to discover that her home in Gan Yavne, a bedroom community near Ashdod, has come under attack.
Gan Yavne was hit for the first time on Dec. 28, and two more rockets fell on Dec. 29. It is the farthest point north that the rockets have reached to date.
Yonah, originally from Los Angeles, is the mother of two young daughters and a newborn son.
She says that she will be keeping all her children at home for the next few days.
'Never in my life did I think I would have to explain to my 5-year-old that we have to go to the basement because a bomb was falling,' she said. 'And there she was guiding me, telling me to cover my head with my hands and stay away from the window as she was taught in nursery school.'
Tal, her 5-year-old, also brought down a snack of bananas and cookies for them after the first rocket fell, telling her in a serious but calm voice that they might be sitting in the basement, which is reinforced against rockets, for a while."

Rockets Reach Ashkelon and Ashdod, Rocking Their Worlds | The Jewish Exponent: "Ashkelon, Israel
Another rocket warning siren wails and eight members of the Levi family, including a grandmother and a newborn baby, quickly cram into the small bedroom made of reinforced concrete that serves as the family's bomb shelter.
'Come on, come on! Get in!' they shout. Just before the heavy metal door slams shut, the family dog, Pick, quickly is whisked inside.
Standing shoulder to shoulder, they listen as the sound of the siren's wail trails off, replaced by the thud of the rocket landing. Returning to the television news a few minutes later, they see it has landed a few blocks away at a local soccer stadium.
Earlier in the day, another rocket landed much closer -- just across the street."
