Liveblogging Israel-Gaza Active Conflict: Day 46
2014-08-22
Friday, August 21, the 46th day of Operation Protective Edge. As the fate of Hamas military chief Muhammad Deif remained unknown, Israel confirmed Thursday that it killed three top Hamas commanders; Gazan terrorists continued heavy rocket fire into Israel, bringing the total since a truce was breached Tuesday to over 300. The cabinet okayed the call-up of 10,000 reserve soldiers, even as the US and others attempted to get ceasefire efforts back on track
below summary
- more speculation on whether Maashal gave away Deif location via a contrary to protocol phone call

- speculation of problems in Hamas's command and control

- a new complicated EU effort to work a peace settlement into a cease fire agreement - this will be sure to confuse Egypt, Israel, Hamas and the PA but make the EU feel good about itself

- speculation on the how much missile inventory remains for Hamas
