The Israeli military unleashed a wave of heavy airstrikes on the Gaza Strip early on May 17, saying it destroyed 15 kilometres (nine miles) of militant tunnels and the homes of nine Hamas commanders. Residents of Gaza awakened by the overnight barrage described it as the heaviest since the war began a week ago, and even more powerful than a wave of airstrikes in Gaza City the day before that left 42 dead and flattened three buildings.
