The situation is explosive. Again, rockets from Gaza, flew to the communities in the South. Again, the Jewish state responded with the bombardment of Hamas targets in the Gaza strip. Again rest returned after that.
It is a constant clash between the Islamists and Israel, from the could grow up in the worst case, a new war. Israel has now pulled out as a response to the shelling of the infantry units and tank units.
Why is threatening to the conflict to escalate right now?
Many things these days. In Gaza, the anniversary of the “March of the return, moves” at the 30. March closer. In Israel, on 9. April selected. In addition, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is dramatic, the people are frustrated and have little to lose.
A dangerous situation, in a war with each exchange of blows is more likely, invests even if there is no page for it.

How the Israelis suffer from rocket fire?
Nowhere is the life of the people from the constant hail of bullets is very limited, such as in the villages and cities around the Gaza strip. Because you’ll be only a few kilometers, sometimes even only a few Hundred meters from the border fence.
When the Alarm sounds, you will have 15 seconds to get to safety. In times of crisis, many families are sleeping rooms in the Bunker. A normal life is then no longer possible.
As larger events, with more than 300 people were on Tuesday, not allowed, agricultural work in the fields had to be coordinated with the army, schools remained closed. Also on Wednesday, the newspaper decided not to report that around 30 percent of parents to send their children to school.
That they have to live along the border with the constant fear of attacks, and the government hardly anything about them, angered many. You feel left in the lurch. Also, because the reaction of the army is a other, if the center of the country of the missiles will hit, like Monday morning, in an attack on a village North-East of the metropolis of Tel Aviv, seven people were injured.
dozens were therefore in the South, on the road, and called on the government to respond with more hardness on the attack. You do not want long-term peace and more security, only a temporary weapon.
What is the role the campaign plays in Israel?
for Years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has staged as “Mr. Security”, as the Only one who is able to be to protect people from the enemies of the Jewish state. Netanyahu, standing for strength, the Left, his conservative Likud party, … to be weak, and thus a danger to the security of the country.
However, just a few days before the parliamentary elections on 9. April did not show the rocket attacks from Gaza, that Israel, even under Netanyahu invulnerable. Seven people were injured in an attack on Monday.
observers hold the head of the government, for professional enough to be in the military decisions not by election influence. Nevertheless, Netanyahu, who is also defence Minister, is under pressure.
He has to show strength, but at the same time try to prevent a war. So far, the army held back in retaliation. It is questionable whether it remains so, if once a missile at the center of Israel is fired. Above all, a shelling of the coastal city of Tel Aviv is regarded as a red line.

Netanyahu’s political opponents try to seize the opportunity. You accuse him of not tough enough against the terrorists in Gaza. The previous education Minister, Naftali Bennett of the party “The New rights” ranted that Netanyahu had failed against Hamas, Israel its deterrent effect is lost.
Bennett has ambitions to take over the Post of defense Minister, which honored him with Netanyahu a few months ago. With the call for more hardness Bennett is now trying to bring for the next term back into the conversation.
How stable is the rule of Hamas is?
The times, in which the Islamists had in the Gaza strip, completely and without any contradiction that to Say, seem to be over. Although Hamas is still a tough Regiment, pursued the opposition, and against any Form of resistance violent.
But the people in Gaza desire in spite of all the repression, more and more. Always fewer people can convince themselves that Israel alone was for your misery responsible. Always see to blame is the Hamas that has no regard at all to the interests of the Palestinians.
the threat of Hamas from the other side. More and more extremist challenge tables Salafist groups that are ideologically to the “Islamic state” close to the sole rule of Hamas.
you don’t accuse the rulers, to lead the fight against the “Zionists” seriously enough – from the point of view of Hamas is an outrageous accusation. Finally, the terrorist organization is defined by the livid, mortal animosity to Israel. In this Situation, a slugfest comes to Hamas with Israel, it does serve as a distraction from its own failures in the coastal strip.
with Mixes of Iran in the conflict?
That seems to be so. The free newspaper “Israel today” quoted on Tuesday an unnamed high-level Hamas functionary with the note that Tehran ordered the attack on the Central Israeli site mixing Meret. Perhaps even over the heads of the Hamas leadership. The of Gaza from operating militant group Islamic Jihad have fired on Iran’s rejection of the missile.
observers were not surprised. Tehran and Jerusalem are sworn enemies declared. As before, the Mullahs are threatening to wipe out the “Zionist Entity” off the map. That you can make with Hamas, financially and with arms supported, not surprisingly.
Who mediated between Israel and Hamas?
Even if the guns fell silent on Wednesday: A long-term cease-fire between Israel and Hamas is not in sight. But there are Attempts to mediate between the counterparties. A Central role Egypt plays in the process.
during the attack on Tel Aviv two weeks ago, it was said, to found at this point, a Delegation from Cairo to the Gaza strip. Your goal: a long-term ceasefire.
