Whilst, I have no doubt three people were killed in Israel prior to their attack on Hamas, it seems a little strange there was limited, if any, media reports of it prior to the attack on Hamas.
The following is also going on at the same time, i.e. Palestine is attempting to get UN recognition as an independant Palestinian state. IMO, I think, it is very difficult to get the true story of any war, as the ‘old’ saying goes, the victor always writes history. Not that I’m inferring either side is innocent and/ or the victor, in this long drawn out situation but bias does occur in these situations, depending on the relationships/goals of other countries with either of the sparring parties.

**Call to topple Abbas over UN effort
By Tobias Buck in Jerusalem
Israel’s foreign minister has called for Mahmoud Abbas to be “toppled” from office if the Palestinian Authority president goes ahead with efforts to win UN recognition for an independent Palestinian state this month.
The warning from Avigdor Lieberman, who heads the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party, was made in a position paper handed out to the Israeli media on Wednesday. The paper called for a tough Israeli response to the Palestinian diplomatic campaign at the UN, which is due to culminate in a vote on November 29 to raise the formal status of the Palestinian delegation in New York to that of a non-member “observer state”.**
