Now that there is no need for peace or anything like that, let's get back to business.
Apparently this is the new way of saying "merry xmas":
Palestinians say Israeli F-16 bombers have launched a series of air strikes against key targets in the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring dozens of people.
BBC
this strike was to stop rocket attacks from Gaza.
Palestinian militant group Hamas, which controls Gaza, initially said at least 40 people had been killed when a missile hit security headquarters in and around Gaza City.
That figure quickly rose, Hamas saying 120 were killed and some 400 people injured, the BBC Katya Adler reports from Jerusalem.
Medics in Gaza also reported high casualties, saying 120 people died in Gaza City and 23 in the southern city of Khan Younis, Reuters news agency said.

What i have been reading, indicates that some 30 targets were hit.
Propaganda is of course one part of the Operation:
"Most security headquarters in Gaza were completely destroyed in the Zionist shelling," the Hamas-run al-Aqsa TV station said.
BBC
Popular pressure for a military operation has mounted in Israel. "The systematic shelling of civilians in Israel's communities is a war crime and a crime against humanity. The state of Israel has to protect its citizens," the mass-selling Yediot Ahronot said.

We don't know how many have died, but i guess it is safe to say that dozens have been killed.
Even land operations are possible, so there will be more violence.
M J Rosenberg was writing about the two-state solution here. I guess it just became little bit more difficult?
And if you hope for peace, i'm sorry :
Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who hopes to become premier after the February 10 election, has vowed to topple Hamas if her Kadima party wins.
Isn't Bibi the other choice? I guess there is no change there..
EDIT: nice to see so many people being "offended" byt the use of one word. Not that those of you even care that people have died.
One word vs Human lives. Think about it and then look into the mirror.
