War in Israel Continues, with Irony

Article: As we all know by now, each day and night, Hamas in Gaza has been showering rockets into Israel. Ironically, they hit themselves by mistake on Sunday and again yesterday. As they were shooting rockets into Israel, some of the rocket fire hit two power lines that feed electricity to Gaza. As a result, Gazans have now lost about 20% of their power supply, which means over 100,000 Gazans do not have electricity anymore. (Kids: what are examples of things they can now no longer do?) Israel refuses to have its workers repair the lines until Gaza stops shooting rockets, otherwise the employees could be hurt. Sadly, those Gazans without power probably think it's Israel's fault. The Hamas government in Gaza has stopped all news from reaching Gazans except the news that the government creates. So Gazans have no way of knowing the truth...

Kids: go outside and find a power line. Find Gaza on a map. Then watch this Video of what it's like to live with rockets, as Israelis are right now.
