Some of the worst fighting between Israelis and Palestinians in years showed no signs of subsiding. |
Israeli airstrikes left neighborhoods in Gaza trembling and rockets fired by Palestinian militants rained on cities in Israel, including Tel Aviv. By Tuesday night 30 Palestinians had been killed, including 10 children, and 203 others were wounded by airstrikes over the past two days, according to health officials in Gaza. At least three people in Israel were killed in strikes by Hamas, and at least 100 wounded. |
Shortly after 9 p.m. in Tel Aviv, militants fired another barrage. One rocket hit an empty bus south of the city, wounding at least three people, including a 5-year-old girl. Above, rockets launched from Gaza toward Tel Aviv. |
Palestinian militants said the barrage was revenge for an airstrike that hit a tower housing the offices of several Hamas officials, as well as an apartment owned by a Hamas leader. |
The conflict escalated rapidly after confrontations at the Aqsa compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, a chronic flash point. |
