Rocket fire from both the Israeli army and Palestinian groups clouds out the sky over northern Gaza at sunset after Israel and Hamas brushed off international calls to renew an expired truce, as seen from the Israeli border city of Sderot. Both sides blame each other for the breakdown of the truce, which before it lapsed had enabled the release of 80 Israeli hostages in exchange for 240 Palestinian prisoners. IMAGES
