Israelis run for cover as a siren sounds warning of incoming rockets in Ashdod on Nov. 15. Israel's assault on Gaza's rocket arsenals is aimed at countering what it sees as a growing strategic threat posed by Iranian-supplied missiles smuggled in through Egypt.

Since the latest flare-up of hostilities, rockets fired from Gaza have killed three Israelis, on top of a death toll of about 30 people since 2001. Photo by Amir Cohen/Reuters
