Gaza fighting rages despite cease-fire proposal - Yahoo! News

Gaza fighting rages despite cease-fire proposal - Yahoo! News: "Despite the heavy fighting, strides were made on the diplomatic front with the U.S. throwing its weight behind a deal being brokered by France and Egypt.
While the Security Council failed to reach agreement on a cease-fire resolution, Egypt's U.N. Ambassador Maged Abdelaziz said representatives of Israel, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have agreed to meet separately with Egyptian officials in Cairo Thursday.
Israeli airstrikes killed 29 Palestinians on Wednesday after leaflets were dropped warning residents to leave the area 'because Hamas uses your houses to hide and smuggle military weapons.'"
