Update at 10:45 a.m. ET: Israeli forces struck hard at targets in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip today, with several airstrikes. Amongst those killed, according to both Hamas and Israeli authorities, was the commander of Hamas' military wing. Al-Jazeera reports that "Palestinian security sources and medics confirmed a total of four air strikes across Gaza during the late afternoon, two in Gaza City, one of which killed Jabari, one in northern Gaza, and a fourth in the southern city of Khan Yunis.". As Sheera Frenkel reports from Tel Aviv for the NPR Newscast: "Earlier this week, Israeli officials announced they could resume their policy of targeted assassinations in response to ongoing rocket fire by militants in Gaza.". Haaretz is live-blogging right here. It writes that an Israeli Defense Forces official states the Israeli military is "ready for ground operation in Gaza, should there be need for an incursion.".

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
