And Israel is continuing its nearly two-week assault on the Gaza Strip. On Monday, Israeli aircraft destroyed a Hamas-run sports club in northern Gaza. Four people were wounded, including a woman and a child. Israeli strikes have killed at least 13 civilians and 35 militants. Two Israeli civilians have been killed and 20 wounded in Palestinian rocket fire from Gaza. Meanwhile in Israel, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak will square off in a run-off vote with former internal security chief Ami Ayalon in the race for leadership of Israel’s Labor Party. Ayalon has backed a full Israeli withdrawal from the Occupied Territories, while Barak has supported Israel’s settlement construction in the West Bank. Defense Minister Amir Peretz was a distant third with 22 percent.
