An Israeli strike on the Gaza Strip left three people dead, bringing to 14 the number of Palestinians killed after Israel was targeted with mortar shells, rockets and a missile that hit near a school bus.
As violence escalates with some of the worst clashes since Israel sent troops into Gaza in December 2008, the territory’s Islamic militant rulers Hamas urged an emergency Arab League meeting and said Arab governments must “raise their voices” to get Israel to halt strikes. The Palestinian Authority called for international protection.
