Studies show that US coverage is Israeli-centric. The main bureaus for CNN, Associated Press, Time, etc. are located in Israel and often staffed by Israelis. The son of the NY Times bureau chief is in the Israeli army;"pundit" Jeffrey Goldberg served in the IDF; Wolf Blitzer worked for AIPAC. Because the U.S. gives Israel over $8 million/day - more than to any other nation - we feel it is essential that we be fully informed on this region. Below are news reports to augment mainstream coverage.

Israeli Army Conducts Limited Invasion In Southern Gaza, opens fire, uproots farmland, levels structures

IMEMC - A number of Israeli armored military vehicles carried a limited invasion on Thursday at dawn into an area close to the Kerem Shalom (Karem Abu Salem) Crossing, east of Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Soldiers opened fired at several homes in the area causing damage; no injuries were reported.

Local sources reported that three military vehicles and two armored bulldozers advanced 200 meters into Palestinian farmlands close to the border line.

The bulldozers uprooted farmlands and leveled some structures, while the army opened fire in different directions.

Israel carries out nearly daily invasions and attacks into northern and eastern areas of the Gaza Strip, and prevents the farmers from reaching their lands close to the border.
