After last year's disastrous invasion of Lebanon, Israel says it will not be dragged into a land-invasion of Gaza, but it did strike three times from the air today after Hamas fired rockets into the Israeli city of Sderot. Hamas warns that suicide bombs may be next.

Can Israel stay out of what may become civil war? What about US assistance to Fatah and its regional efforts at peace?
