Israel barraged the Gaza Strip with airstrikes and shelling Wednesday and killed the Hamas military chief in a targeted strike, launching a campaign aimed at stopping rocket attacks from Islamic militants. The assault killed 10 other Palestinians, including two children and seven militants. On Thursday, militant rockets fired into Israel killed three Israelis, raising the likelihood of a further escalation. (AP Photo/Hatem Moussa)

FILE - In this Thursday Jan. 26, 2006 file photo, Riad Seif, a leading Syrian opposition figure and a member of the opposition Syrian National Council, speaks a week after his release from prison in Damascus, Syria. Members of Syria's opposition-in-exile bristle at the Obama administration's suggestion that Washington will handpick more representative leaders including Seif at a crucial conference in Qatar next week. The new U.S. push appears aimed at creating a unified body that could work more closely with the West, but groups both inside Syria and out will likely resist over concerns that foreign countries will dictate the course of their civil war.

FILE - In this Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012 file photo, a Free Syrian Army fighter shoots his machine gun towards Syrian Army positions in the Amriya district of Aleppo, Syria. Piece by piece, Syria's rebels are slowly starting to expand their arsenal and get their hands on more advanced weapons, something that has been their constant aim in the 19-month-old uprising against the regime of President Bashar Assad. The process still appears to be haphazard and improvised: Far from a reliable, organized pipeline, it often remains a scramble by individual units in the highly fragmented rebel forces to obtain what they can. Most units still rely on their staple arsenal of automatic weapons, hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades. (AP Photo/ Manu Brabo, File)
