Israel - Gaza War Day 11: Bored Now.

With white phosphorus shells in the air and troops on the ground it is becoming increasingly clear that no end to this war will come until Israel has reached it's quota of dead Palestinians. That means there's not much left for me to do except tally up the respective body counts.

At the moment this stands at 4 Israeli civilians, 5 Israeli soldiers and around 650 Palestinians although it is hard to get accurate reports out of Gaza itself because in spite of a ruling by Israel's own high court the Israeli Defence Force are still refusing to allow foreign journalists into Gaza. The main reason they are using to justify this ban is to prevent details of IDF troop movements falling into the hands of Hamas fighters so I think it is time for me to call it a day for now.
