People in Gaza survey the damage and emergency services deploy after the Israeli army launched multiple air strikes on the Palestinian enclave.
Israeli air strikes hit buildings in Gaza City. Heavy exchanges of rocket fire and air strikes, and rioting in mixed Jewish-Arab towns, fuelled fears that deadly violence between Israel and Palestinians could spiral into "full-scale war". IMAGES 1st IMAGES
Israel killed a senior Palestinian militant commander in Gaza on Monday in air strikes which it said also targeted underground tunnels used by Hamas, and Islamist groups renewed rocket attacks on Israeli cities. The violence entered a second week with no sign of an end to the fiercest hostilities in the region in years, despite growing international concern and mounting calls for a ceasefire. After rockets were fired from Gaza at the Israeli cities of Beersheba and Ashkelon, Israeli jets bombed what the military said were 15 km (nine miles) of underground tunnels used by Hamas.
