Three Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrike

Well this shouldn't surprise anyone, there is yet another Israeli-Palestinian conflict to report from the Middle-East. According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, three Palestinian men were killed by Israeli Defense Forces as they were preparing to fire rockets into southern Israel. It's being reported that up to 20 rockets have been fired into Israel from Gaza just this week. Clearly, Israeli and Palestinian relations have digressed in the past year with an estimated 1,166 deaths as a result of fighting. Netanyahu insists that so long as Palestinian forces instigate the state of Israel with these attacks there will be retaliation, terrorist acts will simply not be tolerated. He also adds "this is not how peace is made. Peace is made by educating towards reconciliation, by encouraging good neighborly relations and by developing mutual respect." For this regions sake, lets hope both sides take this advice to heart.
