So damned depressing -- to be honest, I don't hold out much hope there will ever be a lasting peace in the Middle East.

'Five killed' in Gaza violence

Israeli troops have killed five Palestinians, including a 75-year-old woman, in Gaza, Palestinians say.
The reported deaths come a day after at least 23 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military in Gaza.

Israeli forces have been taking part in air and ground assaults in Gaza in a campaign to force the release of an Israeli soldier, captured in late June.

Palestinian officials said a 75-year-old woman was killed by shrapnel from an Israeli shell fired at her house near Jabaliya camp in the Gaza Strip.

Israel's air force fired several missiles at eastern Gaza City, killing a Hamas militant and wounding several other people, according to the Associated Press news agency.

The agency also quotes Palestinian officials as saying a boy standing on the roof of his house in Jabaliya was killed by Israeli gunfire late on Thursday.
