Israel's use of ground troops in its offensive against Hamas in Gaza is aimed of restoring the iron image of the Jewish's state military ability . Ground troops hinder the movement of members of the Hamas armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades. Tanks and infantry have not deployed the whole of the Gaza strip but have mainly occupied areas around Gaza City and in the north, which Israel says are used by Palestinian militants to fire rockets into the Jewish state.
Questions:
1. What effect do you think will this war have on the effect of Israel's and Palestine's relationship?
2. Why do you think this war started? Who started it?

1.Maybe Israel's and Palestine's relationship become worsen, because they already became enemies from a long time ago. Maybe, this violent problem will take along time to resolve it.
2.This war started because long time ago Hamas attacked Israel, at that time Isareli troops made a violent attacked to help their friends who catched by Hamas. Now the same thing is happening again.
