Israel cuts water and power to 1.3M people in Gaza

1.3 million people without water and power... how many of those people are elderly...? women...? children...? disabled...? one hell of a lot more, i'd guess, than hamas militants... does israel care...? highly doubtful...

Israel kept up the pressure on Palestinian militants to release a captive Israeli soldier Wednesday, sending its warplanes to bomb a Hamas training camp after knocking out electricity and water supplies for most of the 1.3 million residents of the Gaza Strip. Palestinians dug in behind walls and embankments, preparing for a major strike after Israel sent in troops and tanks, and bombarded bridges and a power station.
