GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Dozens of Israeli tanks pushed deep into the Gaza Strip and aircraft fired missiles at Palestinian militants Thursday in heavy fighting that mirrored the Israeli offensive against Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.

Palestinian officials said an 8-year-old boy was among eight people killed by Israeli fire.

Fighting on two fronts — against Islamic militants in Gaza and in southern Lebanon — Israel had one of its fiercest days of fighting since Hamas militants captured a soldier from an Israeli army post near the Gaza frontier more than a month ago.

1. As though Lebanon was not enough.

They are going after the Palestinians. Are the Israeli's crazy.

2. Nothing seems to be enough for the Israeli leadership. Must destroy

3. Why is the world letting this killing continue?
