JERUSALEM - Israeli media warned on Sunday that the bloody exchanges in and around Gaza which erupted after a deadly attack in southern Israel last week, risk spinning out of control, with nobody a winner.
The latest round of fighting was sparked by a series of coordinated attacks on Israeli cars and buses on a desert road near the Red Sea resort town of Eilat last Thursday which left eight people dead in an operation blamed on militants in Gaza.
Since Thursday, 15 Palestinians have been killed, nine of them militants, and 48 injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza.
