Gaza Death Toll Passes 300

UN warns of humanitarian crisis.

The death toll in the conflict in Gaza has risen to more than 300, as UN agencies warn of a worsening humanitarian crisis with more than 40,000 Palestinians displaced by Israel's ground offensive.

The warning came as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced plans to travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories in a bid to broker a ceasefire.

Israel launched its ground offensive and intensive barrages from air and sea on Thursday (local time) after 10 days of fighting.

Gaza officials said at least 318 Palestinians, including 70 children, have died in the offensive Israel launched on July 8 following a surge of rocket salvoes that came as it rounded up Hamas men in the occupied West Bank.

Ban Ki-moon merely has to stop in Gaza and get the Pals to quit firing rockets into Israel; instant peace.
The Pals can have peace as soon as the act like they want it.

Looks like the Jews have figured out where the attacks are coming from, and decided to stop them:

"Israeli bulldozers destroy Hamas tunnels in Gaza"
[...]
"Israeli soldiers uncovered 34 shafts leading into about a dozen underground tunnels, some as deep as 30 meters (yards), the military said. Israel views the tunnels as a strategic threat, and demolishing them is a high priority in their campaign."
