More deaths in Gaza as Israel launches ‘most intense raids yet’

More missile attacks in Gaza and more sirens in Tel Aviv as Israeli and Hamas leaders show no sign of backing down.

Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip has entered its seventh consecutive day, with air raids in the early hours of Sunday killing at least seven Palestinians, wounding dozens more and flattening at least two residential buildings. The home of Gaza’s Hamas chief, Yehya al-Sinwar, was also targeted. In Israel’s Tel Aviv, people dashed for bomb shelters as sirens warning of incoming rocket fire blared across the city, and the Israeli military launched its “Iron Dome” air defence system to intercept Hamas rockets.
