• Dec. 26: Masked Palestinian militants hold their weapons during an Islamic Jihad rally in Bureij, central Gaza Strip. A projectile fired by Palestinian militants fell short of its target in Israel on Friday, striking a house in northern Gaza and killing two schoolgirls. The attack came as Israel sent mixed signals regarding its plans for Gaza. Israeli defense officials say politicians have approved a large-scale incursion into the territory once the rain clears. But at the same time, Israel appeared open to international pressure against an invasion, prying open its border with Gaza on Friday to allow in deliveries of humanitarian aid.
