been killed in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials say, as the Israeli

The Israeli military said 131 rockets had been fired from Gaza since Monday night. It said a rocket launched at Tel Aviv on Tuesday had been intercepted.
Israel has authorised the call-up of up to 40,000 military reservists.
Hundreds of reservists have already been drafted to bolster forces around Gaza.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas said all Israelis were now targets.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas demanded that Israel immediately stop the raids on Gaza and appealed for calm.
'War crime' The Israeli military said it had targeted some 150 "terror sites" in response to the rocket attacks.
It confirmed that aircraft and naval vessels had targeted militant compounds, rocket launchers and other infrastructure in Gaza, which is dominated by Hamas and until recently was governed by it.
