Fights in Palestine – level 1
15-07-2014 07:00
Twenty people are killed in Gaza. Palestinians are angry. They protest. They throw stones and set trees on fire. This happens close to an Israeli military base.
The Israeli soldiers don’t like this. They attack the Palestinians with tear gas. Israel says that Islamists in Gaza have rockets. These rockets can hit Israel.
Difficult words: military base (place for soldiers), tear gas (gas which hurts your eyes), Islamist (person who follows the religion of Islam and wants other people to follow his ideals).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
