Israeli forces clashed with gunmen from the Palestinian group Hamas on Sunday, 24 hours after the militants launched a surprise attack on Israel in which nearly 500 people were killed in the deadliest day of violence in Israel for 50 years

The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched the biggest attack on Israel in years today, killing more than 20 people in a surprise assault that combined gunmen penetrating into Israeli towns with a barrage of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip

This moment serves as a reflection, and a reminder, of the Western complicity in perpetuating the injustice against Palestinians.
