Israel has since declared war, and vowed to launch a "total" siege on Gaza. Meanwhile, the U.S. and other global powers are working to stop it from becoming a conflict with multiple fronts.Parts of West Maui reopened to tourists this weekend for the first time since this summer's deadly wildfires were extinguished.
