		<description><![CDATA[(GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip )— A Palestinian medical official says an Israeli airstrike has targeted a motorcyclist in the Gaza Strip, killing one Palestinian and wounding two people. Ashraf al-Kidra, Gaza&#8217;s health ministry spokesman, says the killed man was identified as a 29-year-old police officer. But Israel&#8217;s Channel 2 TV says the airstrike had targeted an Islamic militant who was involved in a recent rocket attack on the southern Israeli resort town of Eilat. The Israeli military confirmed the airstrike but gave no further details. Tuesday&#8217;s attack was the first deadly airstrike carried out by Israel since a November cease-fire.

		<description><![CDATA[An instructive week after Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip tested Israel on the battlefield, the pacifist politicians who govern the West Bank notched a significant diplomatic win without much of a fight at all. Just before 5 p.m. New York time, the U.N. General Assembly voted 138 to 9 to bring Palestine aboard as a “nonmember state.” Another 41 nations abstained. Assured of passage by a whopping majority, Israel and the U.S. noted their objections mildly and mostly for the record, their effort to limit the fallout for the Jewish state itself limited in the wake of Gaza. The status of &#8220;nonmember state&#8221; — emphasis on the &#8220;state&#8221; puts Palestine on the same level of diplomatic recognition as the Vatican, which is technically a sovereign entity. The Holy See has its own ambassadors but, for a few, may be better known for its busy post office off St. Peter’s Square, where tourists queue for what quiet thrills are afforded by a Vatican stamp canceled with the Pope’s postmark. Palestine already has post offices. The particular marker of sovereignty it sought from the U.N. is even more bureaucratic: access to international organizations, especially the International Criminal Court at the Hague. Experts on international law say that, armed with the mass diplomatic recognition of the 150 or so nations it counts as supporters, Palestine will be in a position to bring cases against Israel, which has occupied the land defined as Palestine — the West Bank and the Gaza Strip — since 1967. (MORE: U.N. Recognition of Palestine: What Does It Mean for the Peace Process?) The ICC, as it’s known, is on record as inclined to regard Israel’s more than 100 residential settlements on the West Bank as a crime of war. (The Jewish state pulled its settlers and soldiers out of Gaza in 2005 and argues that it no longer qualifies as its “occupier” under international law. Critics argue otherwise.) The physical presence of the settlements in other words would give Palestine a ready-made case to drag Israel before the court<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=57103&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

As Israeli air strikes have killed at least 115 Palestinians so far, including a few children, hundreds of rockets launched from Gaza have landed in Israel, killing at least three Israelis.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=54777&#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>
