Israel maintains strikes on Gaza

The missile strikes caused panic in Gaza
Airstrikes have continued to target the Gaza Strip as Israel's leaders warn operations would continue until Hamas rocket attacks from Gaza ceased.
Palestinian officials said at least 230 people were killed on Saturday, which if confirmed would make it the bloodiest day in Gaza's history.
The UN Security Council is discussing a statement calling for a ceasefire.
Gazans are preparing to hold funerals while a general strike has been called for the Palestinian territories.
Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said operations would continue on the ground if air strikes were not enough to change Hamas's behaviour.
'Protecting citizens'
The Security Council was said to be discussing a Russian-drafted statement calling for Israel to halt its military operations and for the Palestinian militants to stop firing rockets at Israel from Gaza.
Just before the council gathered, Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gabriela Shalev, repeated Israel's stance that it was taking action to "protect its citizens from further terrorist attacks".
"No country would allow continuous rocketing of its civilian population without taking the necessary actions to stop it," she said in a statement.

Most of those killed were policemen in the Hamas militant movement, which controls Gaza, but women and children also died, Gaza officials said.
About 700 others were wounded, as missiles struck security compounds and militant bases, the officials added.
Israel said it was responding to an escalation in rocket attacks from Gaza and would bomb "as long as necessary".
The air raids continued into Sunday morning, while Israeli tanks were deployed just outside Gaza.
Palestinian medical officials said two people were killed when a mosque was struck late on Saturday night in Gaza City.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the operation "may take some time" - but he pledged to avoid a humanitarian crisis.
"It's not going to last a few days,'' he said in a televised statement, flanked by Defence Minister Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Staff at the main hospital in Gaza said operating rooms were overflowing, it was running out of medicine, and there were not enough surgeons to cope.
'Time for fighting'
The raids came days after a truce with Hamas expired.
Mr Barak said "there is a time for calm and a time for fighting, and now the time has come to fight". He told the BBC it was "not realistic" to call off the operation at this stage.
The exiled
Israel hit targets across Gaza, striking in the territory's main population centres, including Gaza City in the north and the southern towns of Khan Younis and Rafah.
Hamas said all of its security compounds in Gaza were destroyed by the air strikes, which Israel said hit some 40 targets.
Most of the dead and injured were reported to be in Gaza City.
A Hamas police spokesman, Islam Shahwan, said a police compound in Gaza City was hit as a graduation ceremony for new personnel was taking place.
The Hamas police headquarters in Gaza City was hit and the head of Gaza's police forces, Tawfik Jaber, was killed.
Hospitals were filled to overflowing and mosques issued urgent appeals for people to donate blood.
Egypt opened its border crossing to the Gaza Strip at Rafah to treat some of those injured in the south of the territory.
In the West Bank, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas - whose Fatah faction was ousted from Gaza by Hamas in 2007 - condemned the attacks and called for restraint.
Palestinians staged demonstrations in the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Hebron, and there were some scuffles with Israeli troops there.Israel maintains strikes on Gaza
