Summary: Israel is attacking Gaza because the terrorist organization Hamas is located there and was launching rockets on them during a cease-fire. Last I heard Hezzbolah was coming to the aid of Hamas and was firing rockets on Israel from the north in an effort to relieve some of the pressure on Hamas.
Hamas and Israel (not sure about Hezzbolah) also are apparently having "secret" meetings, in Egypt, in order to re-establish a cease-fire.
EDIT: Goddamn, my grammar sucks.

"Who are you?" Sophie asked.
She received no response to this either, but felt a momentary
confusion as to whether it was she or her reflection who asked
the question.
