ISRAEL launched more air strikes in the Gaza Strip and Palestinians kept up rocket fire against southern Israel yesterday in a fourth day of hostilities in which 23 Palestinians have been killed.
Israeli air strikes yesterday killed two Palestinian militants and an elderly man and his daughter, medical officials said. A 15-year-old Palestinian youth died in an explosion that Palestinians blamed on an Israeli missile.
The Israeli military denied it had carried out a strike.
More than 30 rockets, seven of them intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system, were fired at Israel, causing no casualties, police said.
Eighteen of the Palestinians killed since fighting flared on Friday were identified by medical officials as militants and five as civilians.
At least 74 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and three Israelis have been wounded in the past four days.
The violence has been following a familiar pattern in which militants launch rocket attacks and Israel carries out air raids in the Hamas-controlled enclave. But the bloodshed has usually ended after a few days with an informal truce.
Gaza's Hamas leadership has said Egypt was working to stop the violence and was consulting with other militants.
