A mess in Gaza

It would appear that a bar fight has led to all-out war; but so far, this particular one appears to be a one-sided war. My father is in Israel at the moment, and I am sure he does not agree (his apartment there has a bomb-proof room that the family can retreat to if his city is under attack, which it is not). But the homemade rockets being launched from Gaza into Israel have killed nobody in the past few days. All sources are reporting at least 270 Palestinians killed by Israeli retaliation, hundreds more injured, with numerous civilians among them.
