Karabakh conflict claims more lives.

The Karabakh conflict continues to claim the lives of young soldiers, mainly conscripts, who face each other daily across the line of contact that separates Armenian and Azerbaijani forces. The latest incident on Thursday claimed the lives of three Karabakh Armenian soldiers. Several more were wounded and some are in very critical conditions. It is not clear if there were also casualties on the Azerbaijani side.

The incident happened on Thursday (19 March). Both sides accuse each other of instigating the incident.

On Friday, the President of the self-declared Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Bako Sahakian, visited the wounded Karabakh Armenian soldiers in a military hospital in Stepanakert, the capital of the territory. According to the President's website "The President underlined that the whole Armenian nation was proud of their hero soldiers, who continue the deeds of the older generation and selflessly defend the Motherland's borders with flying colors."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is contemplating a complete military takeover of Gaza for the first time in two decades, media reported, and was to meet senior security officials on Tuesday 5 August to finalize a new strategy in the 22-month war. It was unclear, however, whether Netanyahu was foreseeing a prolonged occupation or a short-term operation aimed at dismantling Hamas and freeing Israeli hostages. Mediation between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas has collapsed despite intense international pressure for a ceasefire to ease hunger and appalling conditions in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
