Two civilians have been killed in northern Israel after an anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon hit their home in a town near the border.

The White House said Sunday that “it’s the right time” for Israel to scale back its military offensive in the Gaza Strip, as Israeli leaders again vowed to press ahead with their operation against the territory’s ruling Hamas militant group.

The comments exposed the growing differences between the close allies on the 100th day of the war.

    Where do you expect Palestine to field its conventional army and will Israel allow them to get tanks planes etc shipped in?

    Its a war zone the size of a city, how else are they going to fight here in your mind?

      Who said anything about tanks and planes? Stop that nonsense. How about wearing some sort of uniform to make them distinguishable from civilians instead of running around in tracksuits hiding weapons? They love to dress up like soldiers for photo ops and parades but when push comes to shove they wear adidas and sneakers.

      They decided to play war dressed as civilians and hide among them - a war crime that expectedly makes civilians into potential targets.

        Oh so that’s why Israel has leveled city blocks? That’s why they have killed 1 out of 100 of every Palestinian? That’s why the starve them, take away their electricity, aid, and water? The “was crimes” that is just guerilla warfare is puny in comparison to the atrocities that Israel commits on the daily, for the last 70 years.

          That’s on Hamas. They steal all the aid and murder the people living there. They misfire their rockets on their “own” people trying to harm Israel. Go direct your complaints at them - they can stop the war.

          And I see how you just completely ignore the fact that Hamas war crimes directly lead to the civilian populace becoming a target. Engaging in combat dressed as a civilian is not “guerilla” warfare - even those wear their uniforms to act within the Geneva Conventions. What Hamas does is just plain old terrorism.
