Israel/Palestine conflict

At least 173 Palestinians and six Israelis were killed during an 8-day battle, Nov. 13-21 — between militants in the Gaza area of Palestine and the Israeli military — which ended in a cease-fire.

More than 1,000 rockets were launched from Gaza into Israel. About 400 were intercepted in the air by anti-missile systems. Some of the rockets landed near Tel Aviv and one hit near Jerusalem, but most fell in open fields. The Israeli military carried out 1,500 air strikes on targets in Gaza.
