A wounded Palestinian child is checked by doctors at a hospital in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, on March 11, 2012, following a fresh Israeli air raid, bringing the death toll from strikes since March 10 to 17 and dashing Hamas hopes of restoring a tacit truce.
And lastly, the IDF is using this as an opportunity to do some “maintenance work” in Gaza and to mow the lawn, so to speak, with regard to terrorism, with the main goal of boosting its deterrence and postponing the next round of violence for as long as possible.
This is essentially the situation in the Gaza Strip since Operation Cast Lead ended in January 2009.

An Israeli man stops an electric car next to a charging station at the first electric vehicle demonstration centre in Ramat Hasharon near Tel Aviv on February 7.
