Death toll rises in Gaza as violence escalates
The Peninsula
GAZA/JERUSALEM: Israel carried out hundreds of air strikes in Gaza on Wednesday and Palestinian groups fired multiple rocket barrages in the region's most intense hostilities in years.
At least 43 people have been killed in Gaza since violence escalated on Monday, according to the enclave's health ministry. Six people have been killed in Israel, medical officials said. In Gaza, a multi-story residential building collapsed after Israel warned its occupants in advance to evacuate, and another was heavily damaged, after they were hit in the air strikes.More Related News
