Today, Anwar has returned to her family’s damaged one-story home. Anwar’s mother spends much of her time caring for her daughter. The infant only stops crying when she is in her rocking bed. Before the war, she was playful and alert, the mother said. Not any longer. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)

In this Friday, Aug. 8, 2014 photo, Palestinians attend Friday noon prayer beneath the fallen minaret of the Soussi mosque that was hit by Israeli strikes in Gaza City. Israel has hit and destroyed 63 mosques in Gaza in its month-old war with Hamas, Palestinian officials say. The reason, Israel says, is that Hamas is using mosques to stockpile weapons and rocket launchers and hide tunnels. Gaza’s Hamas rulers deny the accusations. But in its determination to go after what it says are militant arsenals, Israel is throwing aside any reluctance it had in the past to hit religious sites for fear of a diplomatic backlash.
