Israel and Hamas continue to fight on as the new Middle East conflict
ISRAEL, 2014/08/05 Israel and Hamas continue to fight on as the new Middle East conflict continues amid intermittent cease-fires. Israel's military objective continues to be to destroy Hamas' tunnels and rocket launchers and bring a period of sustained quiet to the country. From the Israeli perspective, this new conflict is proving to be expensive in a lot of ways. The Israeli defensive operation has been met with increasing resistance from the international community, with urgent calls for an immediate ceasefire. The longer the conflagration continues, the better the likelihood that Israel will face growing economic and political isolation. Tourism to Israel has dropped off significantly and will likely remain low in the aftermath of the war.
