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
The latest developments from the Israel-Hamas war.
Israel's warplanes pounded Gaza on Friday after talks to extend a week-old truce with Hamas broke down, sending wounded and dead Palestinians into hospitals and others onto the streets to seek safety. Eastern areas of Khan Younis in southern Gaza came under intensive bombardment as the deadline lapsed shortly after dawn, with columns of smoke rising into the sky, Reuters journalists in the city said.
The pause in fighting that began a week ago allowed hostages and prisoners to be freed, plus much-needed humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza.
Trucks carrying aid enter the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, after Israel and Hamas agreed to extend by one more day a truce under which hostages are exchanged for Palestinian prisoners and aid flows into the war-devastated Strip. IMAGES
