Description:

Smoke billows over Gaza, and trails of smoke can be seen after rockets have been launched towards Israel, as seen from the Israeli side of the border. Nearly two years into the war in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces mounting pressure to secure a truce to pull the territory's more than two million people back from the brink of famine and free the hostages held by Palestinian militants.
