Middle East Violence Continues Into Muslim Holiday

Fighting between Israel and Gaza continued today, the start of Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday that concludes Ramadan, in spite of a United Nations call last night for an "immediate and unconditional" cease-fire.

A long-term truce to end the violence between Israel and Hamas has not been reached. This is the 21st day of the bloody conflict.
