From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

New rules for violence in a changing Middle East.

Hello again, I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Poet from Public Radio International.

A daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

The death toll from Israeli attacks in Gaza is now close to 100, many children included,

with almost 800 wounded. Three Israelis have been killed by rocket fire that's come close to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Hamas, the elected leadership in Gaza, appears emboldened by the Arab Spring,

and says the barrage won't end until Israel agrees to concessions.

Prime Minister Netanyahu facing a re-election campaign refuses to halt Israeli airstrikes till rockets from Gaza stop falling.

We'll update the prospect for a ceasefire.

On reporter's notebook later on, President Obama makes history in Southeast Asia. First,

here's the news. Support for To the Point comes from the members of KCRW and from the Public Radio

International Program Fund. Hello again, Worminalny, back with To the Point. Rockets fired from the

Gaza Strip continued to fall in Israel

as Israel's retaliatory airstrikes kill more civilians in Gaza. We'll update the resumption of

violence, the Arab Spring, and Israeli politics. On reporter's notebook with Aung Song

Suu Kyi now freely elected to parliament in Myanmar, Barack Obama today became the first

sitting American president to visit that country.

We'll hear what he had to say. First is news update. The death toll from six days of Israeli

strikes in Gaza is approaching 100 with 700 wounded. Yesterday, a bomb missed its intended target,

killing 11 people, including nine in three generations of a single family.

Jody Radarren with the New York Times attended the funeral today, and Jody, it's good to have you on our program.

Thanks for joining us.
