Israel-Hamas: six months in the brutal alley of the war in the Gaza Strip. The more than two million survivors in the Strip are zombies exposed to imminent epidemics and famines if the bombs do not deal with them first.
Israel caused nearly fifty deaths in an unprecedented bombing of Aleppo in Syria, mostly soldiers from that country and militiamen from Hezbollah who guarded large weapons depots there. The leader of the opposition and former Minister of Defense, Benny Gantz, proposed moving the elections forward to September.
