		<description><![CDATA[The recent conflict in Gaza and Israel, now halted by a cease-fire agreement, was strikingly similar to the past war, begun in December 2008, between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. There were subtle differences this time, however. The Arab Spring has led to changes in leadership in countries including Tunisia, Libya and, most crucially, Egypt, which borders Gaza and is invariably a key mediator in cease-fire agreements between Israel and Hamas. Egypt’s new President, Mohamed Morsy, was a leading figure in the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas is an offshoot of the Brotherhood and so Morsy has a natural kinship with Hamas. But Morsy, for all his condemnation of Israel, played a crucial role as peacemaker, as his predecessor Hosni Mubarak did. He had little choice: Egypt is a close ally of the U.S., which views Hamas as a terrorist organization and has a longstanding peace deal with Israel. Morsy and President Obama spoke on the phone several times in the run-up to the cease-fire announcement on Wednesday. TIME’s Israel correspondent Karl Vick, who is based in the Jaffa section of Tel Aviv, wrote this week’s magazine story on the Gaza conflict. TIME spoke with Vick shortly before the cease-fire and just after a bus was bombed in Tel Aviv, to get the story behind the story. (MORE: Who Won in Gaza? Body Language and the Cease-Fire) How did you feel when you heard the first rocket land? It was a little alarming, just because I was out in the open at the time. I didn’t go into it in the story, but it turns out we were in the middle of what is one new component in this cycle of bombings: the rockets hitting Tel Aviv and the attempts to rocket Jerusalem. I was right underneath the first one to come to Tel Aviv. I had been in the house all day so my wife and I — we don’t live far from the old port of Jaffa, it’s kind of a boutique, yuppie area — decided to go<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=55892&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tel Aviv is not Israel’s largest city – Jerusalem is nearly twice the size &#8212; but Tel Aviv is much more than the 400,000 people who reside within its municipal boundaries. Both in Israel and the Palestinian territories, the name is shorthand both for what Israelis call “the center” &#8212;  the matrix of freeways and palm trees where half of the country’s population resides – and for a lifestyle enjoyed beyond the tensions that define “the conflict.”  It’s a sangfroid that galls more religious and ideological Israelis, and utterly enrages Palestinians who sense the despair of their own situation deepened by the lives being richly enjoyed in the center. So the sickening wail of air raid sirens across  the tree-lined grid of the Mediterranean city on Thursday night was a significant development in the Gaza conflict, now a couple of days old. So were the reports of residents seeking cover under the tables of the cafes where they had gathered to begin the Israeli weekend, not that Tel Avivans gather anywhere else during the week. The conflict had finally come to Tel Aviv. “Some of the places were empty last night,” Nadav Shoshan says in a café that, on a Friday morning at 10, usually requires a wait for a table. There was no waiting now.  Not half dozen customers sipped cappuccinos and browsed menus, weighing the merits of muesli versus shakshuka, an Israeli dish of eggs poached in tomato sauce. “It’s not a typical Friday morning,” the waiter says. The streets, while not empty, were far from crowded, and even farther from carefee.  In the Jaffa section, an older man escorting his wife into a mid-block crosswalk screamed at a driver who slowed to a stop a bit too slowly for his frayed nerves.  The driver rolled down the passenger side window to scream back. “Maybe we will die today,” a lawyer told her cleaning lady. The cleaner, a Third World national imported to fill the jobs done by Palestinians before Gaza and the West Bank were sealed off, laughed. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=54967&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s hard to get much speed on Gaza City’s cramped streets, so the sedan carrying Ahmed Jabari was easy to track from overhead as it slid past a minivan and edged into the intersection where the Israeli missile reached it at a few minutes after 4 o&#8217;clock Wednesday afternoon.  The fireball singed the trees on either side of Omar al-Mukthar Street,  killed the head of Hamas’ military wing and announced an Israeli military campaign that in terms of tactics began as a thumping success. First there was a feint.  In the hours before waves of warplanes and drones began firing into the Gaza Strip , Israel’s civilian  and military leaders had pretended great interest in a border 200 miles to the north. The Golan Heights was where errant Syrian shells had landed earlier in the week, prompting the first exchange of fire since 1973. In Gaza, the Jewish state was assumed to be observing the latest cease-fire brokered to end the latest round of missile launches toward Israel’s southern communities, and Israeli answering with fire into Gaza. Though the tempo had quickened in recent weeks, the call and response was a rhythm both sides had grown accustomed to over the five years Hamas has ruled the coastal enclave. As the shadows lengthened on Wednesday afternoon, there was surely  tension in Gaza – the buzz of Israeli drones makes tension an audible thing. But the shocked first reactions of Hamas leaders to the Jabari hit told Israeli eavesdroppers that the surprise in Gaza was profound. What followed was certainly stunning:  a lightning flurry of 20 more Israeli airstrikes, each targeting launch tunnels and storage depots for Fajr-5 missiles. An Israeli military official tells TIME that the strikes destroyed seven of the Iranian-made missiles – the entire known inventory the Israelis knew to be inside Gaza.  The Fajr-5 has been Hamas’ most prized and closely guarded weapon, the only rocket capable of reaching Tel Aviv, and thus altering the agreed-upon terms of the conflict. In a matter of minutes, the Israelis may<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=54720&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
