Militant Islamists - Hamas in the Gaza strip and Hizbullah in Lebanon - provoked this by incursions into Israel, killing and abducting Israeli soldiers, and demanding the release of Arab prisoners in exchange for the Israeli captives. The Christian Science Monitor has officially become a mouthpiece for Israel. Sad. Israel has been killing Palestinians all up to and since the abduction of the soldier.
