    Who shot first? Israel or Palestinian?

    GAZA (Reuters) - Israel killed four Gaza militants on Saturday as violence sparked by the death of a militant leader a day earlier escalated with gunmen firing more than 90 rockets at Israel, injuring four people, Israeli and Palestinian officials said.

    In all Israel, has killed 14 militants in aerial strikes launched since Friday, Hamas medics said. In the latest attack, a gunman was killed on a motorcycle and another was critically wounded and later died of his injuries, medics said.

    Militant groups in Hamas-ruled Gaza vowed to exact revenge for the killings. According to the Israeli military, more than 90 rockets have been fired at Israel since Friday, including 25 longer-range Grad rockets intercepted by Israel's "Iron Dome" missile interceptor system.

    Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) claimed responsibility for most of the rockets and mortar shells fired which they also said totaled more than 70.

    Israel launched some half a dozen air strikes at militants in Gaza on Friday, killing 10.


    Seems like Gaza militants started it, and Israel shot back harder.

    Read about this on the BBC. Looks like Israel is in the clear on this one since the militant leader had previously orchestrated attacks on the border of Egypt.

    Yes, in the 3894539053939593rd battle of this conflict, a simple "who started it" is enough to justify either sides actions.
