Some in the Bay Area are calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Gaza as the conflict is affecting residents here as well.
It's been three weeks since the bloody attacks on Israel, and the relentless bombing of Gaza as a response.

'But peace is probably not the objective of either side right now. Hamas operates in a vast array of tunnels dug under densely populated areas of Gaza, which will be a tactical nightmare for Israel if, and when, it begins a ground assault.
