There are no reports of Israeli ground forces in Gaza. So what is this picture?
Currently all that is going on is that the Palestinians are firing rockets at the Israelis and the Israelis are firing rockets at the Palestinians. The results are very one sided not because of the number of rockets but because the Israelis are MUCH better at aiming theirs.
There are indeed "collateral casualties" (civilians hit instead of fighters) but judging by the figures from the Palestinians, a remarkably low percentage of the total for an "artilery" fight. It has been pointed out that some of the men killed might also be civilians but that wouldn't decrease the Israeli acuracy figure much (you should assume that the number of adult civilian men would not be greater than the number of adult civilian women killed -- the boy children already counted among the children killed).
Theres some awful things happening there, yes. Theres something awful happening here too. Vague news and photoshopped images. Please try and provide something more informative for those of us who like to avoid the skewed rantings of itn "news".
