Will anger over slain youths prompt escalating reprisals?

Season 2014 Episode 1850 | 5m 18s

In addition to clashes in East Jerusalem over the death of a Palestinian teenager, the Israeli air force struck targets inside Gaza after Hamas fired rockets again into southern Israel. The exchange took place despite word of a potential cease-fire being mediated by Egypt. Jeffrey Brown talks to Josh Mitnick of The Wall Street Journal about the clashes, and the prospect of escalation.
