Israeli planes attacked Egyptian soldiers today, at 2:00 p.m. PT, killing and injuring several members of the Egyptian armed forces. The border at Rafah is closed and our contacts advise things are tense. According to Reuters, the violence in part stems from an attack on an Israeli bus that was traveling close to the border with Egypt earlier today.

Hopefully Gaza will be granted statehood soon by the UN so Israel can declare war on them and do things right.
