STORYLINE:
Israeli aircraft pounded a cemetery, rocket-launching pads, weapons arsenals and dozens of arms smuggling tunnels in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, according to witnesses and the military.
Palestinians gathered in the morning around the damaged houses in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, funerals were also held in Khan Younis on Wednesday morning for four Palestinians killed in the violence on Tuesday.
In the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahiya a funeral procession took place for another six Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes and shelling the previous day.
Palestinians said aircraft struck the Sheikh Radwan cemetery in Gaza City on Wednesday, destroying tombs and unearthing dozens of bodies.
Gaza City residents, too terrified to venture out to the only graveyard in the area with space to dig new graves, had been burying victims from Israel's assault in the Sheikh Radwan cemetery in existing family graves in recent days as they were unable to go to another cemetery which is too dangerous to reach.
Witnesses also reported an air strike on the house of a militant rocket squad leader.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on either strike.
Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli tanks also resumed fire at civilian areas, using shells that ignited small fires before dissolving into clouds of white smoke that hung above Gaza's city centre, witnesses said.
Fireballs and smoke plumes from Israeli bombing have become a common sight in the territory of 1.4 (m) million people, who are trapped because Israel and Egypt have blockaded border crossings ever since the Islamic militant Hamas group seized power in Gaza in June 2007.
Humanitarian concerns have increased amid the onslaught although some aid is getting through to Gaza during daily three-hour lulls Israel has allowed to let in supplies.
Palestinian rocket fire has dropped significantly since the offensive began.
Twenty rockets and mortar shells were fired toward Israel on Tuesday, and there was no fire early Wednesday, the military said.
In the early days of the offensive, militants fired as many as 80 a day.
Israel says it will push forward with the offensive until Hamas ends all rocket fire on southern Israel, and there are guarantees the militant group will stop smuggling weapons into Gaza through the porous Egyptian border.
Hamas has said it will only observe a cease-fire if Israel withdraws from Gaza and opens border crossings, ending the siege that began in June 2007.
Israeli police said the rockets from Lebanon landed in open areas in northern Israel on Wednesday.
Residents in the area were instructed to head to bomb shelters following the second attack from Lebanon in less than a week.
Lebanese officials said the Israeli army fired shells on south Lebanon in response.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility from Lebanese militant factions.

Prophet's grandson Hussein honoured on grounds of Israeli hospital a report
About 50 Shia Muslim pilgrims settle down to chant and prostrate themselves in worship near an ancient tomb.
Not an unusual scene in the Middle East, but this shrine is located on the grounds of an Israeli hospital known mainly for treating the casualties of conflict in the nearby Gaza Strip.
The Barzilai Medical Centre in the coastal town of Ashkelon is home to a tomb where, in the view of some Shia Muslims, the head of Hussein ibn Ali, grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, lay interred for centuries following his death in battle.We pray, first of all, to respect the head of Hussein because he was martyred, the worshippers' leader, Sheikh Moiz Tarmal, told Reuters. And we believe that if we pray here, God will listen to you.
The slaying of Hussein in the seventh century Battle of Karbala fuelled the split between Sunni and Shia Muslims that has recently erupted with renewed ferocity in conflicts in Iraq and Syria.Many Shias believe all of Hussein's body was buried near where he died at Karbala in present-day Iraq. Others hold that his head was hidden by Sunnis in Ashkelon in the 10th century before later being spirited away to its final resting place in Egypt for safety as Crusaders invaded the Holy Land.During last year's Gaza war, Israel's Iron Dome air defence system intercepted two Hamas rockets over Barzilai, he said.
Tarmal saw divine intervention in the hospital being spared.
We believe it is a holy place, he said. Many rockets do come into Ashkelon, but that place has always been safe at the end, so we believe it is spiritual please subscribe the video

STORYLINE:
As Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's hawkish Likud Party appeared headed for a convincing victory in elections Tuesday, Labour party leader Amram Mitzna tried to win last minute support.
Visiting polling stations and shopping malls, Mitzna continued canvassing even as opinion polls pointed to Sharon winning a convincing victory.
I remain optimistic, said Mitzna as he shook hands with supporters.
In the Knesset in Jerusalem, the central election committee manned phones and monitored regularity, preparing for the final count of votes.
Meanwhile in Gaza, Hamas Spiritual Leader Sheikh Yassin condemned the elections, saying that Hamas would continue fighting Israeli aggression.
Yassin said: There will be no stability for the enemy as long as there is aggression.
His words came after hundreds of Palestinians packed onto the streets attending the funeral of three men killed the night before.
The three died in a powerful explosion at a Gaza City house.
Palestinians claimed an Israeli helicopter fired a missile. But the Israeli army said no helicopter was in the area, and military sources said the blast was caused by the premature explosion of a bomb being assembled by militants.

Nabil Sha'ath, the Palestinian minister for planning and international
cooperation, said on Monday (7/10) that his people lacked confidence in the new peace talks with Israel. But he also told a news conference that the Palestinians could accept a larger international peacekeeping force in Hebron if that would facilitate the much-delayed Israeli army withdrawal from most of the West Bank town.
Elsewhere in Gaza, Ilayan al-Riqib, a 25-year-old Palestinian policeman, died on Monday from wounds suffered during gun battles with Israeli soldiers last week and was buried in the town of Khan-Yunes.

Comprehensive Tour - Israel acre סיור מקיף עכו ישראל עם צחי שקד
Acre is one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in Israelצלבנים, מנהרות, שוק
נפלא, ים, אנשים שקופצים מצוקים, דגים, שייט במים סוערים, מוסיקה נפלאה ומפתיעה של מתי כספי ו.....ליאור המדהימה שרוקדת כמעט בכל מקום. זהו החלק השני של הסיור שלי עם ליאור והפעם בעכו. צפו, תיהנו והעבירו בבקשה הלאה.
Acre is one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in Israel.[3] The name Aak, which appears on the tribute-lists of Thutmose III (c. 16th century BC), may be a reference to Acre.[citation needed] The Amarna letters also mention a place named Akka.[4] In the Bible, (Judges 1:31), Akko is one of the places from which the Israelites did not drive out the Canaanites. It was in the territory of the tribe of Asher. According to Josephus, Akko was ruled by one of Solomon's provincial governors. Throughout the period of Israelite rule, it was politically affiliated with Phoenicia rather than the Philistines. Around 725 BC, Akko joined Sidon and Tyre in a revolt against Shalmaneser V.[5]
Following the defeat of the Byzantine army of Heraclius by the Muslim army of Khalid ibn al-Walid in the Battle of Yarmouk, and the capitulation of the Christian city of Jerusalem to the Caliph Umar, Acre came under the rule of the Arab caliphate beginning in 638. The Arab conquest brought a revival to the town of Acre, and it served as the main port of Palestine through the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates that followed, and through Crusader rule into the 13th century.[3] It was captured by King Baldwin I of Jerusalem in 1104 in the First Crusade and the Crusaders also made the town their chief port in Palestine.[8] Around 1170 it became the main port of the eastern Mediterranean, and the kingdom of Jerusalem was regarded in the west as enormously wealthy above all because of Acre. According to an English contemporary, it provided more for the Crusader crown than the total revenues of the king of England.[9] It was re-taken by Saladin in 1187, and unexpectedly besieged by Guy of Lusignan reinforced by Pisan naval and ground forces at first, in August 1189. But it was not captured until July 1191 by Richard I of England, Philip of France, Leopold of Austria with what was left of the German army and the rest of the crusader's army. It then became the capital of the remnant of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1192. In 1229 it was placed under the control of the Knights Hospitaller. The Crusaders called the city Acre or Saint-Jean d'Acre since they mistakenly identified it with the Philistine city of Ekron[citation needed], in northern Philistia, now southern Israel. It was the final stronghold of the Crusader state, and fell to the Mameluks of the Ayyubid Sultanate in a bloody siege in 1291
The Ottomans under Sultan Selim I captured the city in 1517, after which it fell into almost total decay. Henry Maundrell in 1697 found it a ruin, save for a khan (caravanserai) occupied by some French merchants, a mosque and a few poor cottages.[10]
The Mosque of Jezzar Pasha in Acre. The mosque was built by Ottoman governor Jezzar Pasha between 1800 and 1814Towards the end of the 18th century it revived under the rule of Dhaher al-Omar, the local sheikh. His successor, Jezzar Pasha, governor of Damascus, improved and fortified it, but by heavy imposts secured for himself all the benefits derived from his improvements. About 1780 Jezzar peremptorily banished the French trading colony, in spite of protests from the French government, and refused to receive a consul.
In 1799 Napoleon, in pursuance of his scheme for raising a Syrian rebellion against Turkish domination, appeared before Acre, but after a siege of two months (March--May) was repulsed by the Turks, aided by Sir Sidney Smith and a force of British sailors. Having lost his siege cannons to Smith, Napoleon attempted to lay siege to the walled city defended by Ottoman troops on 20 March 1799, using only his infantry and small-calibre cannons, a strategy which failed, leading to his retreat two months later on 21 May.
Jezzar was succeeded on his death by his son Suleiman Pasha, under whose milder rule the town advanced in prosperity till his death in 1819. After his death, Haim Farhi, who was his adviser, paid a huge some in bribes to assure that Abdullah Pasha (son of Ali Pasha, the deputy of Suleiman Pasha), whom he had known from youth, will be appointed as ruler. Abdullah Pasha ruled Acre until 1831, when Ibrahim Pasha besieged and reduced the town and destroyed its buildings. During the Oriental Crisis of 1840 it was bombarded on 4 November 1840 by the allied British, Austrian and French squadrons, and in the following year restored to Turkish rule.

SUMMARY
=======
Israel (; Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל; Arabic: إِسْرَائِيل), officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia, located on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea. It has land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, and Egypt to the southwest. The country contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. Israel's economic and technological center is Tel Aviv, while its seat of government and proclaimed capital is Jerusalem, although the state's sovereignty over Jerusalem has only partial recognition.Israel has evidence of the earliest migration of hominids out of Africa. Canaanite tribes are archaeologically attested since the Middle Bronze Age, while the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah emerged during the Iron Age. The Neo-Assyrian Empire destroyed Israel around 720 BCE. Judah was later conquered by the Babylonian, Persian and Hellenistic empires and had existed as Jewish autonomous provinces. The successful Maccabean Revolt led to an independent Hasmonean kingdom by 110 BCE, which in 63 BCE however became a client state of the Roman Republic that subsequently installed the Herodian dynasty in 37 BCE, and in 6 CE created the Roman province of Judea. Judea lasted as a Roman province until the failed Jewish revolts resulted in widespread destruction, expulsion of Jewish population and the renaming of the region from Iudaea to Syria Palaestina. Jewish presence in the region has persisted to a certain extent over the centuries. In the 7th century CE, the Levant was taken from the Byzantine Empire by the Arabs and remained in Muslim control until the First Crusade of 1099, followed by the Ayyubid conquest of 1187. The Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt extended its control over the Levant in the 13th century until its defeat by the Ottoman Empire in 1517. During the 19th century, national awakening among Jews led to the establishment of the Zionist movement in the diaspora followed by waves of immigration to Ottoman Syria and later British Mandate Palestine.
In 1947, the United Nations (UN) adopted a Partition Plan for Palestine recommending the creation of independent Arab and Jewish states and an internationalized Jerusalem. The plan was accepted by the Jewish Agency, and rejected by Arab leaders. The following year, the Jewish Agency declared the independence of the State of Israel, and the subsequent 1948 Arab–Israeli War saw Israel's establishment over most of the former Mandate territory, while the West Bank and Gaza were held by neighboring Arab states. Israel has since fought several wars with Arab countries, and since the Six-Day War in 1967 he ...
