Today we talk about USA TODAY news .The war happened in Palestinian.GAZA CITY — Five Palestinians were shot and killed Friday as protests erupted in the West Bank after Palestinians called for a "Day of Rage" against the Israeli military's operation.

The circumstances surrounding the shootings in the northern village .Many people escape the village.Security was beefed up Friday  after thousands clashed with Israeli security forces Thursday night, leaving at least one Palestinian dead. Thursday's protests at a West Bank checkpoint and in East Jerusalem marked the largest demonstrations in those areas in several years.The violence follows the shelling Thursday of a U.N. school, where at least 15 were killed and dozens wounded as the U.N. was trying to evacuate civilians .The Palestinian Red Crescent said Israeli shells hit the school. The Israeli military said it was reviewing the incident and suggested Hamas-launched rockets may have been responsible for the deaths.

The conflict — in its 18th day — has killed 828 Palestinians and left 5,200 injured, said Ashraf al-Kidra, a Palestinian health official. Since July 8, 35 Israelis — including 33 soldiers — have been killed. A Thai worker in Israel also died.An Israeli soldier Hamas claimed to be holding, was in fact killed in battle Sunday.Meanwhile, Palestinian Justice Minister Saleem Al-Saqqa and Ismail Jabr, the Gaza court public prosecutor, filed a complaint to the International Criminal Court on Friday, accusing Israel of war crimes, including apartheid, attacks against civilians, excessive loss of human life and colonization.A truce proposed by Egypt last week was rejected by Hamas because the group said it wasn't consulted. Hamas says any peace deal must include the lifting of a blockade against Gaza.

Personally, I'm for the Israeli absorbing Gaza and the West Bank into Israel and doing whatever they want with the millions of Palestinians: otherwise there's no end to this conflict. But it's not like the Israelis are innocent. What about the continued turning the West Bank into Swiss Cheese by installing Israeli Settlements which dig wells that lower the ground water levels and destroy Palestinian olive groves that have been in the same families for centuries? EVERY other nation on Earth, including the USA, has demanded their end. They are certainly part of the reason for the missiles.
