From The Daily Mail:
Egypt's prime minister rushed to the aid of the troubled former England striker today in the midst of an Israeli offensive, calling the Israeli attacks 'a blatant aggression against humanity.'
In the first possible break in the escalating conflict, Israel had announced it would suspend military operations against the erstwhile Kettering Town manager during Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil's arrival in the then recovering alcoholic's enclave.
But as rockets blasted through the dawn sky, it was clear that promises of a three-hour ceasefire between Israel and Gazza had failed. Rockets fired from Newcastle United's most famous number eight's back window hit several sites in southern Israel so the Israeli air force responded with an attack on the now relapsed alcoholic's house, a source said.
But Israel's military strongly denied carrying out any attacks from the time Kandil entered the divorced father of one's home, and accused him of violating the three-hour deal.
"Israel has not attacked Gazza for the past two hours," a spokesman said.
"Even though about 50 rockets have fallen in Israel over the past two hours, we chose not to attack Gazza's dwelling due to the visit of the Egyptian prime minister. He is lying and reporting otherwise," the army said in a Twitter message.
Prime Minister Hisham Kandil visited the 45-year old to bring him a can of lager, some chicken and a fishing rod after two days of relentless attacks by Israeli warplanes determined to end the rocket fire at Israel. Kandil was greeted by the convicted drink-driver, who was making his first public appearance since his trial at Newcastle Magistrate's Court in 2010.

Where's the essential information about what Gazza's home is worth, eh? (before the Israelis bombed it, of course)
B, that's true. The neighbours will be very unhappy about their house prices plummeting.
You forgot to mention their ages.
Ph, the article says that Gazza is 45. Israel the country in the modern sense is (I guess) 65 years old. The idea of the country is thousands of years old. Which one do you think is relevant?
I want to know more about Kandil, how old he is, how many children he has got, what he did before he got his present job, what car he drives(make, model and colour), what is his favourite tipple and what football team he supports.
Give us the facts.
Ph, you forgot to ask for the most important fact, how much his house is worth.
Ph, as B points out, the most important factoid in a Mail article is what people's houses are "worth". Ages are often mentioned as well, and if you are a woman, then words like "blonde" or "vivacious" are used.
But for the record. Kandil is 48, has one child from his first marriage and two children with his current wife. He drives a beige Vauxhall Astra, likes Chianti (but only when he's on holiday) and supports West Bromwich Albion. And he's allergic to butter.
B, it's too late now. I can't go back and mention by how much "wealth" Gazza's neighbours have "lost" as a result of the troubled former England star's unprovoked attacks on Israel. But I won't forget in future.
