Diplomatic efforts to end two weeks of Gaza Strip violence intensified after dozens of Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers died in the conflict’s bloodiest single day.
The Palestinian toll mounted to 514 today as fire from fighter jets and tanks claimed dozens of lives across Gaza, including nine children and adults killed in an airstrike on a house, Gaza Health Ministry official Ashraf al-Qedra told reporters. Twenty Israelis, including two civilians, have also died since Israel escalated its campaign against Gaza militants following weeks of rocket fire at its communities.
