The deadly exchange of fire between Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli military has escalated significantly, with the UN fearing a “full-scale war”.
More than 1,000 rockets have now been fired by Palestinian militants over 38 hours, Israel said, most at Tel Aviv.
Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes, destroying two tower blocks in Gaza yesterday and today.
At least 43 Palestinians and six Israelis have been killed since Monday.
