Israel, Hamas Resume Fighting as Cairo Talks Break Down -- Voice of America

JERUSALEM — Israeli and Palestinian fighters in Gaza exchanged fire Tuesday night and Wednesday morning as cease-fire talks in Egypt broke down.

Palestinian authorities said at least 11 people were killed in the latest round of violence. There we no reported injuries in Israel.

Israel said it hit more than 90 targets in the Palestinian enclave along the Mediterranean, one of which struck the house of Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif. Hamas said he is still alive, but the raid killed his 27-year-old wife and seven-month-old son.

Several thousand mourners joined a funeral procession for them and shouted demands for revenge. Their bodies, wrapped in green Hamas flags, were carried from a mosque to a cemetery in a refugee camp in Jabaliya.

Hamas said that Israel had opened a "gateway to hell."

"Hamas said that Israel had opened a "gateway to hell."...

Hehehe... That reminds me...

"Satan Tired Of Hamas Leaving Gates Of Hell Open All The Time"

Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip, July 9 – The leadership of Hamas and Islamic Jihad threatened to “open the gates of Hell” on Israel if the latter continued attacking their fighters launching rockets at Israel, but the chief resident of Hell is not amused, and complains that Hamas is perpetually opening those gates and neglecting to close them after passing through.

“This is at least the fourth time in the last few years that Hamas has opened those gates, but I’ll be damned if they’ve bothered to close them again even once,” said Satan this afternoon."
