Israeli gunboat missiles have killed four Palestinian boys from the same family as they played on a beach in the Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll in the nine-day conflict to at least 215.

The four boys, who were cousins and ages nine to 11, were killed while playing on a beach off a coastal road west of Gaza City, said Ashraf Al Kedra, a Palestinian doctor. Seven others, adults and children, were wounded in the strike, he said.

Israel has intensified air and tank strikes on what it says are Hamas militant targets in the Gaza strip after dropping flyers and making automated phone calls ordering tens of thousands of Palestinians in the north and east of the region to leave their homes by 8am this morning.

Thank you for feedback :) . Its interesting for me to know about the unrest in Sweden are afraid that the same is going to happen in Norway, we have too many immigrants. Its pretty interesting what is happening in Europe right now. Many nationalist political movements are slowly but surly getting strong political influence. Its happening in Greece with Golden Dawn, In France with National Front and in Hungary is Jobbic that are getting influence. Its also happening in a small scale in Sweden(i am a bit unsure) and Germany. What influence will this have in Europe? Can you post something about this if you want. Sorry if i am nagging you about news. I don't know your policy about people asking you to post about some specific news?
Fixed some grammar errors and re-posted it in case it didn't get loaded right. I wrote on the mobile and the post was black so i re-posted it now just in case.
