Has the countdown to next Hamas-Israel war begun?
Both Israel and Hamas claim not to want another battle, but both are loudly preparing for one.
Israel and Hamas have been escalating their war of words, which observers on both sides fear could turn into violence.
Gaza has yet to recover from the destruction of the last war with Israel in the summer of 2014, when more than 178,000 houses were destroyed or damaged, which makes any upcoming war between Israel and the Palestinians seem too early and premature.
